#_8 Data Log


Here are some nice screen shots of data logs from FSR measurements. I tweaked some of the processing source code to vary the display. I changed the values by inversely mapping them (serialValue=map(serialValue,0,1023,width,0);) to add some, in my opinion, aesthetic interest to the graphs.
The Arduino was programmed with Lab code by Tom Igoe.





#_7 Servo

Servos are a cool thing, actually. Though, I did my lab three days ago, I got it out today and started building a coffee cup drum, which has to be completed yet. Figured, since I drink so much coffee and don't have a mug I should at least do something useful with all the crap cups.
However, here is my servo lab for now.

#_6 virtual MIDI and the Tone Library

After I did my Tone labs the last two days, I was sort of wanting to do more, especially since Leo did this really beautiful piece for his stupid pet trick(check it out at: http://itp.nyu.edu/~lk1068/blog/index.php?/project/stupid-pet-trick/). So, today I finished my own little MIDI controller using my FSR and a flex sensor. I am using a virtual MIDI device for that and sending it to Renoise.
For the media controller assignment we want to definitely do something that involves MIDI and maybe sending serial to Max/MSP for visuals so this will really come in hand.
Next is the servo motor.
