Receiving Data From Cell Phone into MAX

Hello fellow users,

I have been trying to find an answer to this but have been unable to do so. How does one go about receiving data from a call phone (such as accelerometer, location data, etc).

thanks for taking the time to answer!

Hi Gene

Your question is very vague, makes it hard to answer it with any precision... What kind o data are you trying to capture from the phone?

And secondly: to what effect?

Depending on the platform (iOS, Android...) and nature of the data, that you want to capture you have several possibilities:

- use ready-made software on phone side (e.g. TouchOSC or GyrOsc - or other sending OpenSound Control messages) and receive the data inside Max;

- make your own app... working on your phone and sending data via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. to Max - best solution in this case will be again to create something sending OpenSound Control for simple handling in Max;
