Ms. Melissa

I'm an graduate animation student, and perhaps I have no business posting to this forum as I'm really really new to this whole interactive realm, but I got a deadline for a project coming up, and wondered if there existing sources for code to do the following:

I made an animation of sexy ladies doing sexy things, and I'm trying to make a replica of a "Cail O Scope" which is an old motion picture device that allowed the user to "play" a series of stereo images by turning a crank.

I have an arduino, I have a rotary encoder that provides "Up to 24 full quadrature outputs per revolution"

I have a super simple jitter patch that has a rate control setting for a stereo quicktime clip.

What I don't have is the proper code for an arduino sketch to output data that could be translated into rotation speed by jitter. I also don't have a clue how to translate the arduino data to read the speed of rotation and connect it to the rate of quicktime player.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated, in return, I could offer collaborator credits when the piece is exhibited.

Arduino Diecimila to communicate with Max/MSP and Processing. The 

collections includes examples of how to receive input from the 

Arduino Diecimila, controlling servos, and combine the two on the 

this solution relies heavily on the js javascript object to work.

If have any questions, please feel free to email me on or off list.

Also, if it works out then I wouldn't need collaborator credit, but 

if you want to cite the source that would be okay.

to be democratic and helpful (and not just self promoting), there are 

other solutions listed here on the Arduino playground (excellent

  MD Arduino is a collection of sample code showing how to get the  
Arduino Diecimila to communicate with Max/MSP and Processing. The  
collections includes examples of how to receive input from the  
Arduino Diecimila, controlling servos, and combine the two on the  
same board.

this solution relies heavily on the js javascript object to work.
If have any questions, please feel free to email me on or off list.
Also, if it works out then I wouldn't need collaborator credit, but  
if you want to cite the source that would be okay.

other solutions listed here on the Arduino playground (excellent  
source if you don't know it yet):
