video Conducting foam controlled servo's
This video shows the use of conducting foam as an input for the Arduino Duemilanove. The output consists of 2 servo's which, eventually, will control a robotic hand.
The conducting foam was taken from a pcb-case (originally to prevent static build up).
The Arduino scetch is found in extended->servo->knob and doubled (or tripled etc.) for control of more than 1 servo.

witch can easily be done with an if statement and some math .
lemme know if u want to know the code , even though idk if it is arduino compatable ( c++ code like)
i did a little research on how arduino works so it may actualy work right away , but its compleatly untested
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
void setup() { myservo.attach(9); myservo.write(90); // set servo to mid-point }void loop() {int calibrate = [ a number to mess around with ]
int an0 = map(analogRead(0) , 0,1025 ,0,180)
If (an0 => (an0 + calibrate ) )
{
myservo.write(an0 )
}
else if ( an0 =< (an0 - calibrate ) )
{
myservo.write(an0 )
}
}
what this does is checks to see if the the analog pin ( after being mapped to work with a servo ) is within [calibrate] range . if its not in that area , it will change the servo's position ... i hope
lemme know if it works =D
add a semi colon to the end of every statement except the if , and else if
example :
void loop() { <--- not here
int calibrate = 5 ; <---- here
If (an0 => (an0 + calibrate ) ) <--- not here
{
myservo.write(an0 ) ; <--- here too
}
