Multiple sensors from Arduino Uno
Hi everyone,
I know many people have been working and posting on Arduino & MaxMSP and connecting sensors...
I'm having an isue where I'm using an Ultrasonic Sensor, a breath/air pressure sensor, and an analogue slider together - they all seem to work fine indipendantly if I isolate their lines of code in arduino.
But when put together, I get fluctuating in the numbers coming into Max. Each input keeps jumping from the read value to 0, and then back.
Simple max patch attached, and arduino code image
Any help greatly aporeciated

Don't print anything else than just you sensors.
why bother with that messages in Max ?
prepend a letter for each of them and send only if value changed.
example for pressure
Serial.print( "p "); Serial.println(pressure value);
in max then route p d s for pressure, distance and slider.
next mistake is setting all 3 sliders to read from same analog input
and also using 0 instead of A0, A1 A2 etc
simplest example for 1 slider
you could also add a bit of change threshold if readings are
not stable
Thanks so much,,
Your solutions have worked well. I don’t know why I haven’t noticed some of those issues myself at the time, just the process of learning I guess
Thanks again
