Step 1: I finally have a studio space!! (I love PRATT!)

Step 2: Painting drywall tracks and studs.

Step 3: Building a hanging ceiling system.

Step 4: Marking the Floor.

Step 5: Hanging my flower-like sculptures.

Step 6: My favorite part… Designing my chair cover = simple = easy = pretty.

*Reading Arduino’s Serial.print(data) in MaxMsp

Example:

In Arduino, we can turn on the serial monitor to print out the values. However, how can we keep monitoring the values in MaxMsp? J Let’s try.

Arduino:

Set the value and use the function Serial.print();

Serial.print(” “); //This will create a space between each  value.

Serial.printl(); //This start a new line for vales.

MaxMsp:

Using “metro” object to start printing the values.

Using “serial” object to read and receive data from serial port.

Using “itoa” object to translate the integer to ASCII characters?

Using “print” object to get the same monitor effect as Arduino

What’s the difference between Arduino’s Serial Monitor and Max?

1. In Arduino, the value ,168, is printed on one line. In Max, each character is printed on a line so 168 prints on three    line.

2. In Max, Serial.print(” “); is printed as a empty line.

For example:

aread:

3. In Max, Serial.printl(); is printed as two empty lines.

For example:

aread:

aread:

Thoughts:

The above example helps me to know what the serial port is reading when I use MaxMsp to give my Arduino port some information.

Thanks Liubo

Resonant Wave is an interactive artwork which combines a ceiling installation and an experimental flamenco performance. It attempts to represent the invisible movement of air and the indistinguishable vibrations of sound with the interaction between the dancer and the installation. The form of the installation is inspired by the shape of a wave and a sweeping shawl. It consists of thirty individual pieces. Each piece includes LEDs and a geared motor. In the beginning, the installation is motionless and dark. According to the dancer’s positions, each piece will rotate. Also, according to her location, if she does some hand clapping and foot stamping, some groups LEDs will light up. The dancer’s performance will gradually lead the audience to observe the various interactions between the space, dancer, airflow and sound. <
