We will be creating a chair that shoots out bubbles when someone in a different location hugs a pillow to show their affection for the other person even though they cannot be with them physically.
We experimented with two different actuator experiments that might be helpful for this project.
The first experiment we created was using the servo, we are thinking we could use this to move a bubble wand up and down in order to submerge the wand with bubble solution. It seems like this could work for what we want it to as long we can make our fan work at the same time and speed. It will be easier to tell once we have an actual bubble wand. In our exploration, we used our Photoresistor (LDR) as a placeholder for the fan.
We also tried to experiment with our stepper motor to see if it could also work well for the turning our fan for us. We need a way to have the fan blow the bubbles. We don't have a fan that we could attach to it but we played with the delay and speed of the stepper motor to see if it might work. We will be getting a squirrel cage fan to try as well to see which we prefer.
