For Designing Associativity Seminar MAA students had to fabricate a machine which responds to data collected from a source. This is one of the projects for the seminar, developed by Julian Hildebrand and Ohad Meyuhas, that is controlled by Firefly (Grasshopper) through an Arduino board.
Simulation of louver movement react to sun change. (watch a student video of the project in motion video-1 and video-2)
