I'm working towards a project for college and I'm looking to build a data logger. Basically I will be getting data in from an accelerometer and I want to record this into an audio file. When I play back the audio I will have video with this so I will be able to tell how where i'm getting the most and least data. I have the very basic patch but I'm unsure where to go from here.

Hi Guys

why record it in an audio file? That seems convoluted. I'd just "insert" whatever data you've got going on in coll and use that file instead.

Also, what's the video you're looking to play? You don't seem to touch on that?

You can also use mtr/seq/seq~ to keep track of delta information too (time between events).

I posted this a few days ago, you could use this to record a whole sensor stream and then play it back (at varying rates etc...)

Also, if you have an Arduino with an ethernet shield or maybe even an Arduino Yun, you could ask yourself if max/msp, as lovely as it is, might be the best solution. Alternatively you could use an online data logging solution, such as data.sparkfun.com...

...or Nimbits (http://www.nimbits.com/index.jsp), an SD card (ethernet shield has one), http://www.engineerathome.com/elektronica/log+arduino+data+to+a+web+server/34, etc.

@WETTERBERG Basically I'm attaching a sensor to a dancer and as she dances I want to find out what levels of data I am getting from the sensor. For the video I will be recording the dancer herself. I wanted to record it into an audio file so that could play it back in time with the video and see exactly where the most and least data was coming from.

@RODRIGO That patch you designed is fantastic and looking at it really helped me out thanks a million!!
