Arduino Flower

This structure was inspired by the movement of flowers towards the sun. It has the ability to turn 180 degrees and it has petals that open and close. 

Five light resistors around the structure transfer the message where the most light comes from. The intensity itself defines how much the petals will open, and the whole structure turns towards the most intense source of light. .

The handmade wooden structure is attached to a metallic one on top of it, originally designed to be placed in a pot for boiling vegetables.

Two servos were used, one for opening and closing the petals, and the other for turning the whole structure  around itself.
