Trigger a max patch with a QR code

Craig Jackson's icon

Hi all,

I would like to trigger a sound file in a max patch by a user scanning a QR code with their mobile phone and opening a web URL. What direction should I be looking to get a web page to send data to a patch? udpsend? Php?

Thanks,

Craig

Hello !


Very interesting question. I'm just starting to explore this idea for an instalation. I would also like to be able to trigger music playback by scanning qr code...

Did you find a solution ?

I did that a few years ago, but i made the qr reading with processing, following this article: https://makezine.com/2011/03/02/codebox-use-qr-codes-in-processing/

and sending URLs to Max with OSC.

Thanks LSKA !
I never used processing before but sounds good and I'll investigate this direction...
Otherwise I was thinking about RFID decoder with Arduino ?! I've my sunday to think about that.
