Don't know about the Icube systems but for something a bit cheaper you could try using a bluetooth arduino

I have successfully used them in installations

Thank you zeotrope for the info, it will be so useful to me... I have even a distributor here in spain!.

how would you do it?. In fact I am using them for some porpouses, but I also want to work with presure, light, wind, extension sensors...

Do you know of some one that has hack them sucesfully? (I mean, how can you take away the accelerometer with few knowledge of electronics).

something like a converter that trigger the buttons in div. speeds...but yes if u need some high resolution and high data rate maybe the wisebox would be better:

ey! thank you very much for that info... two months of researching and hadn?t seen something like that.

Yeah I have actually hacked the wiimote extensively and I wouldnt recommend it for something that you need a nice thick curve of expression for. its only roughly 8 bit for the accel axises with even less of that being really usable. I found only about a 70 step range of it to come into play without really exerting alot of force on it. I did take a few apart and use the chips which are broadcom chips and happen to be around 5 dollars without shipping online in various places. Its a great cheap solution for triggers and threshold event type programing stuff but if you want subtle control with small movements, go with something more designed for the dance/sense arena.

Ive posted about this before. I love the wireless icube, ive been using mine for a year now. the only issue I ran into with dance was that the wires of the gforce sensors broke, but they fixed them and revamped there design and now they are much stronger. I think there products are great and though Ive had my qualms Im very happy to own them and would reccomend them to you.

oh and by the by, theres a vid on my website of our performance, but what im doing with the sensors now is of a much more well thought out nature. Ill start posting youtube clips of new research soon.

Ok, good. So does it work properlly with a g4 pb 15", just with bluetooth conection?. Do you know about any bugs working with max or ableton live or problem of conections/desconections?

I'd like to know as much as possilbe about it, as I'm from spain, and I have to buy it from so far away.

Thank you for the info. By the way, I like a lot the way she dances, she

no problems with any internal workings, connection and disconnection is fully functional, I haven't experienced any software bugs. Once you set it up its all midi so its really easy to use with any softwares, doesn't have to be max or crazy deep programming.

Ok, thank you, everything looks perfect, then I?ll buy my one... I just hope you don?t work for them! (just jocking)
