 First attempt to use wood and Metal by hand to construct the above mechanism sketch is shown below in the images:

+Above: the first Mechanism attached to the Umbrella.
+Below: The circuit on the breadboard, DRV8825 Driver for the motor.

+The breadboard can only take a limited current. So next step is to make a Custom PCB board.
+I spent 2 weeks trying to create the new part (DRV8825) in Fritzig because it was not there. I was editing someone else's shared part, because theirs was incomplete. Long story short: I made it but it still didn't function correctly when trying to draw the connection traces.
+So I aborted this design process and instead bought a Arduino Proto-shield to solder my circuit to.

+Soldering the Protosheild:

+  stepsToDo = target - curPos;
+  if (stepsToDo < 0) {
+    digitalWrite(dirPin,LOW);
+    dir = -1;
+  }
+  else {
+    digitalWrite(dirPin,HIGH);
+    dir =  1;
+  }
+  delayMicroseconds(stepTime + 10); //10 as minimum step Time
+ if (stepsToDo != 0) {
+    curPos = curPos + dir;
+    stepTime = 300000 / abs(stepsToDo);
+    digitalWrite(stepPin,!digitalRead(stepPin));
+  }
+}
+Here is a short video of the First Functioning moment. I am using a Potentiometer to control the Umbrella. Later this will be replaced by the Breathing Sensor.

+Breathing Sensor Version 1:
+[[File:Breathing_sensor_v1.jpg]]
+Above: Magnet sensor and a magnet attached to a latex glove, which you strap around your upper rib cage (Chest). when your Chest contracts and expends, the magnet is moved closer and further from the sensor, creating a changing value. This is used to control the Umbrella. The Arduino code for this is above.
+Circuit:
+[[File:Pranasol_circuit_1_wiki.jpg]]
+Next: Exploring different fabrics for connecting the two Umbrellas.
+---LATEX----
+I bought a strip of thera band (Normally used for exercise). I chose the type with least resistance, so that the umbrellas are not stressed too much. I sewed it to the Umbrella to test the durability.
+[[File:Latex_1.jpg]]
+[[File:Latex_2.jpg]]
+[[File:Latex_3.jpg]]
+The testing revealed that it breaks down, because the sewing produced holes in the latex, so it very rapidly rips off from its fixing. This is not going to work with latex.
+Alternative Umbrella arrangements:

+Next: BUNGE CORD.
+At €1.20 per meter, I bought 12 meters. This didn't cover the whole Umbrella, only 30percent.

+Umbrellas together:

+[[File:Pranasols_complete_wiki.jpg]]
+. Build and improve both breathing sensors..
+. Find another fabric to connect the two umbrellas.
+. Sew
+. Design installation fixtures: vertical or horizontal. Consider how this mirrors the relation between the two users.
+. Set-up, test and film.
