I want to project slides and control the lamps that enlight them with maxmsp.

1. Anybody experience with flashlights like the one in digital cameras? or should i better use led,s...maybe halogen?

2. what is the cheapest and easiest solution to control the lights

using maxmsp. What kind of hardware do i have to buy?

Any links to projects that worked with lights and that describe how to do that?

2. what is the cheapest and easiest solution to control the lights
using maxmsp. What kind of hardware do i have to buy?
I use a mac powerbook 1.6 ghz.

Not sure about the lamps, I'd explore the options, I have heard that super bright LED's in a grid of say 20 or 30 can project slides. As for control, either an ICube(very good but not cheap at all) or the cheap and cheerful Doepfer stuff - they do an interface that turns MIDI to voltage, + varyingthings along that line!

If you say u want to project slides does this mean with slideprojectors?

If u do you need a relais (don't know the english word) to control 

they will need some time to get them oon the right brightness 

A good chance then is to use old photocamera diafragma's to put in 

front of the lens and trigger them with a little motor

the same could be done with flashlights or just control their on/off 

switch (the diafragma way lets you fade in and out though which will 

the hardware depends you can go ARDUINO which is cheap but hard to 

Plymo, I just did a project in which there is some lights and 

circuitbending involved. You're more then welcome to write me with

If you say u want to project slides does this mean with slideprojectors?
If u do you need a relais (don't know the english word) to control  
the on and off BUT
they will need some time to get them oon the right brightness  
(warming up)

A good chance then is to use old photocamera diafragma's to put in  
front of the lens and trigger them with a little motor

the same could be done with flashlights or just control their on/off  
switch (the diafragma way lets you fade in and out though which will  
be nicer I think)

the hardware depends you can go ARDUINO which is cheap but hard to  
setup in max (or so I'm told)
you can go bluemelon or teleo or ...

Plymo, I just did a project in which there is some lights and  
circuitbending involved. You're more then welcome to write me with  
more q's

its about all this nerdy people soldering in little garages,

its about all this nerdy people soldering in little garages,
playing with LEDs. thats fun.

yes the GRL is great with the ledthrowies
