I have been largely working on signal processing with Arduino, with Pure Data and sometimes when that's not available - Max/MSP. My first project was a trigger kit, which consists of a piezo (the transducer), some 1/4" cables/jacks, the usual capacitors and resistors, and finally some good Pd code. This worked by setting a threshold for the audio signal and working from there, but the other way is via MIDI and that I have yet to undertake.
There are a lot of fun stuff one could do with the Arduino microcontroller and Pure Data (sometimes you may want to couple it with SuperCollider, CSound and/or ChucK). I had a great time trying to get the clap-and-lights-on thing to get going, and the last time I laid my hands on it I was on to fans (the swinging plays a different light and different audio tone every set interval). Your kids will love it. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
