Stepper motor tutorial: making quarter turns and back
This tutorial is about a stepper motor than can make a quarter turn and goes back.
It can do this multiple times.
Parse the amount of cycles in the Serial Monitor!
Needed:
wires (catagorized in color preferably) breadboard
L239d H-bridge (scheme: [1]) 28BYJ-48 Stepper motor
Setup:
1. Place the bridge (note the little dot)
2. Connect the supply wires and ground wire
3. Connect the output wires (here it is 9, 10, 11 and 12)
4. Connect the wires for the stepper motor

Inspiration and References
Our first discussion about the design took place on wednesday where we discussed our ideas for the installation, and the later developments have been discussed with the tutors today, all the ideas which we are taking forward are listed below.
Ideas: 1. The installation is imagined to be similar to be in character to an animal in the wild, where during a safari, the people are expected to maintain absolute silence to see the creature be active in its natural environment. 2. The idea of growth, such that the installation is a constantly growing piece, with 2 layers of movements, the first being a short cycle of interactive movement, where the physical interaction with people, in this case the noise created, activates the pods in the installation to open, thus diffusing and absorbing the noise. The form of each of the components of the installation, is origami based with design influences directly from natural elements, like flowers and birds. 3. Another layer of intervention is the fusion of the movement of the structure with certain sounds, either natural or instrumental, this idea is still to be thought over, but most probably it will be a concept on paper and not in the physical application.
