Arduino Music - Vibration Device
Hello everyone,
I am very much a beginner on both arduino and max msp, so would really appreciate your help.
I am working on creating a music-sensitive vibration. I was able to create a way to detect the lowfrequency sounds in max msp through lores~, and so on (the patch attached)
However, I am constantly having a problem to get the data read by arduino. Often, it doesn't show any data at all, or doesn't get connected to MAX. What am I doing wrong? Is it a workflow problem or can it be that my lillypad (the arduino device I am using) is not working anymore?
Best,
Ilayda
max patch is not ok, arduino code is not ok
this is all it needs in arduino:
void setup() {Serial.begin(9600);}
void loop() { int xxx = Serial.Read();
if (xxx == 'A') {digitalWrite(13, HIGH);}
if (xxx == 'B') {digitalWrite(13, LOW);}}
in Max send A or B to turn motor on or off.
serial object sends ascii code.
you need atoi for that
You are better off using letters A & B than trying to parse ints in arduino.
you can use
if $f1 > 0. then A else B
insert zl change to avoid repetitions
that would at least allow max to control motor.
the other part - that whatever detector - is up to you to make it work
P.S.
don't forget - only one app can use serial port at same time !
You are sending from Max to arduino to turn motor on or off.
What is that for :
Serial.println(xxx); ???
Print to what and why ?
and why do you add all this define pins etc giberish ?
#define vibOutPin 13
#define value
int motorPin = 13;
int xxx;
A teacher told you to do so ?
code i posted needs nothing else to do what you asked for
copy it, paste it into EMPTY sketch, upload, and that's it
