A fairly bare-bones test of sending data from an Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller to PureData. All visuals and sounds subject to serious tweaking in the future!

In this video I am using a light sensor hooked up to the Arduino microcontroller to gather light level data and send it to some stuff I made with PureData and GEM.

We are turning a few lights in the room on and off. The levels of light controls the size and colors of the psychedelic sphere and also some of the synthesizer sounds.

Thanks Mary Benedicto for helping turn on and off the lights for this video.

I liked it! I also wouldn't mind seeing a direct video of it.

And your other videos are great as well -- haven't watched them all yet, but I love the aesthetic.

thank you ichabod!

that rocks.... how long (estimate) did it take you to go from deciding "i'm gonna make this patch" to getting to this point? i imagine once you get the i/o working with the arduino that's pretty much the initial hump to get over...

thanks!!! well it took a while, it is really just a big mess of weird synths and fairly simple GEM stuff, lots of fun though!
