Hello, I would like to use a potentiometer and a spdt switch with Max MSP. I have used Maxuino and SensorBox in the past but would like a simpler, cleaner approach (no opaque firmata code or 4051 chips).

I have used the "graph" code that come prepackaged with arduino software, but would like only one other input. Can somebody who is familiar with serial communication (I am not yet!) steer me in the right direction?

I am guessing using a for loop to scan through two inputs, and then lord knows lol.

PS. I like 90 degree angles. Thus I will probably never upgrade to v 5. If there are any old timers out there, throw me some patches! Thanks ha

A quick solution would be to add one more analogRead to your sketch, and bundle the two together like so:

myOtherVariable = analogRead (YOUROTHERPIN#);

then ensure that your adc values are restricted to [zlgroup 2] -> [unpack 0 0] after the [serial] object to separate out the two streams.

myVariable = analogRead (YOURPIN#);
myOtherVariable = analogRead (YOUROTHERPIN#);
Serial.print (myVariable, byte);
Serial.print (myOtherVariable, byte);
Serial.print (255, byte);

then ensure that your adc values are restricted to  [zlgroup 2] -> [unpack 0 0] after the [serial] object to separate out the two streams.
