It’s done! Mechanical tulip as a present for my wife. When caressed it blooms into various colors. And will never fade. #freeform #jewelry #arduinopic.twitter.com/yDePeURXXd

What's behind the magic? Few pics of
#mechflower internals. It is controlled by@arduino Nano. Moved by a servo. And light up by 7@adafruit NeoPixels and 30 SMD bright white LEDs.pic.twitter.com/DTG5DjYlFp

What type of sensor did you use? It is most impressive!
-
It's a TTP233 touch sensor connected to a leaf instead of touch pad. Works like a charm.

Beautiful! Until I saw the servo, I was wondering whether the movement was with a push rod, or with something like a bimetallic strip. That might give some interesting options.
-
I was experimenting with coils but it didn't give me enough freedom. Also, wires powering the petals are quite fragile and quick movements put a lot of stress on them. A bimetallic strip would be magic indeed!
