Accelerometers => OSC => UDP => Max / Msp => ?? => DMX => Green Hippo

Hello,

Here is my situation :

I have one sensor which can provide acceleration values (3 axes) and magnetism values (3 axes too) and so 3 angles values (Yaw, Pitch, Roll regarding a set reference).

When my sensor is "ON", I can receive datas (Wireless) in my computer via an OSC server. (adjustable frequency from 25 Hz to 200 Hz) and send it to max via UDP. So I am now in max with 9 values received at the time with an adjustable sampling rate. (Let's say 100 Hz)

Now I decide to implement a simple patch which is detecting collision. Let's say I can do it and it works fine. (on X axis for example). I would like to send some messages to a Green Hippo server which works with DMX messages to display some pictures and videos. (Which are on the server).

The idea would be to make a little patch which send a different message one collision after another. So my Idea is to simply use a incremental solution which makes "+1" at each collision and then starts again when it has reached 100 for example. I can do that to.

Then I would like to know what is the best way to communicate with the server with DMX messages for example. Shall I have to send Midi (midiout, ctlout,..) to the server and how (interface)? or shall I convert collisions in Jitter DMX messages to talk with the server and how ? other ideas ?

It is more a technical solution than a programming solution that I am looking for.

I don't know the version of the green-hippo server but it accepts :

VGA / RGBHV*, SDI*, Composite Video, S-Video, RS232,
Midi*, DMX512*, DMX over Ethernet, HD-SDI*,
DVI upto 1920 x 1200.

So what is the best way to go from my OSC values (computer and max) to a green hippo server which accepts message like DMX ?

I searched through the forum but I am not really aware of Jitter (not yet ;)), and not aware of ligthing solutions like DMX, Artnet, Green hippo or Catalyst. Maybe you have some clues or some tutoriales to do it ?

Thanks a lot,

Have a nice day,

Mathieu
