Changes

So at first my original idea was the one described above. After much fumbling with the programing, failing to get it to work i decided that I would attempt to approach the project from a different perspective. Thus the Octopussy was created. After working on my original code on a Sunday night failing to get it to work I overheard my roommate's having a quite interesting conversation. They were discussing the topic of Octopus vagina's. They wondered if the place where the octopus ate was in fact the same place that it reproduced. They then proceeded to discuss whether the Octopus's vagina was pink. Anyways i found this to be hilarious and right then and there I decided that that was what i wanted to explore. i knew from there I didn't want to use any program that was to complex because the Arduino software was upsetting me. I remembered the Color mixer and thought that was a perfect fit to my project. If I could somehow use that to show the different colors a Octopus's vagina could be it would be perfect. I needed a way to combine these two things so I thought why not combine traditional 2-d art with this new medium of Arduino software. I Painted the Octopus and set up the Color mixer in such a way that it would be the vagina. I then thought that I still needed a novel interaction. That's when my other roommates comment struck an idea. He said "I bet you could figure out the color of it if you titillated the tentacles." That was it, I would but the potentiometers on the tentacles for a simple interaction. The rest was concealing and making the electronic portion hidden. I also modified the code to make the image size of the color box larger. I will present more pictures + a code later.
