EL wire eye candy

Step 5 Test runs

The first few runs resulted in some major wobbling, because the tube was suspended off-center by a longish, too-flexible link. Still, the photos were pretty cool, which encouraged me to keep tinkering....

Not all the strands are illuminated in these images -- I unplugged one or more of them to see how it looked. The second part of this project (not completed yet) is to build a sequencer that I can program to turn on only the wires that go in one direction, or do other cool patterns. For now, I have to stop the motor and manually plug or unplug individual wires' connectors.
