Creating Nitinol Actuators that are controlled by Arduino

Ok so I’m trying to make actuators out of nitinol wire. Basically with nitinol you heat it up until it’s “trained”, then you run a current through it and it will bend to its “trained” shape. I'll use the actuators to make origami cubes. The arduino will apply a current through the nitinol which will cause the nitinol to bend the folds of the paper, and the cube will either collapse or expand. (I’ll actually use a MOSFET cuz arduino can’t handle that much current). I sorta wanna make something …

Controlling SMA Actuators with Arduino. Magnetic Origami Cubes

So this is going to be a little vague but it’s a pretty cool project so I’d appreciate any help or feedback I can get. So basically I’m trying to make origami paper cubes that have magnets attached to each of its inner walls, and the Arduino will apply a current to the magnet which will change the strength of the magnet and cause the cube to either collapse or expand. This is the closest that I found to what I’m trying to do. However in this video instead of running a current through electromag…

Magnetic Origami Cubes with Arduino?

So this is going to be a little vague but it’s a pretty cool project so I’d appreciate any help or feedback I can get. So basically I’m trying to make origami paper cubes that have magnets attached to each of it’s inner walls, and the Arduino will apply a current to the magnet which will change the strength of the magnet and cause the cube to either collapse or expand. There are many important factors that will affect the results of this project. I need to know what material to make cubes out o…
