I have a stationary bike connected to a an imac with maxmsp on it. When I begin biking the movie goes from black to playing a random movie located in a folder on my desktop. When I stop the movie stops and screen goes black. When I begin biking again the another movie will play randomly from the folder. This is how it is supposed to work. This will work for sometime but after a few days a video will begin playing randomly and slowly without anyone riding the bike. When looking at the MaxMsp interface the voltage reader is frozen at a certain number. I have tried the reset button on the arduino but it does not reregister the numbers. If logout and reset I am good for a little longer does anyone know why the connection between maxmsp and arduino is failing?

This is the tutorial I used to develop the project

http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/VirtualColorMixer

http://www.electrokit.se/moduler-mikroprocessor-arduino-duemilanove-usb-board_12200020

This example reads three analog sensors (potentiometers are easiest)

and sends their values serially. The Processing and Max/MSP programs at the bottom

take those three values and use them to change the background color of the screen.

* potentiometers attached to analog inputs 0, 1, and 2

This example code is in the public domain.

const int redPin = 0;        // sensor to control red color

const int greenPin = 1;        // sensor to control green color

const int bluePin = 2;        // sensor to control blue color
