Milestones

• Leap motion + p5 (or TD, I tried TD + Leap motion before it works fine)
  • map leap motion detection into location info serial communicate to Arduino to control which automata is moving.

• Arduino
  • receive leap motion data, trigger the right servo motor

Milestone 1: Make a working interaction demo with LEDs and paper boxes.

• Automata Fabrication + connect automata with servo motor to trigger the motion
  • make 4 automata, prototype with brass rod, laser cut, card board from online tutorials/existing templates
    • some existing templates: https://www.etsy.com/search?q=mechanical automaton&ref=search_bar

Milestone 2: Make one working automata driven by a servo motor.

Milestone 3: Make more automata and put things together.
