dont forget the algopic: https://algo.mur.at/data/projekte/algopic/ for Autoklavierspieler ;-) used serial-interface for better timing, this was the reason for (comport - external). mfg winfried PS: just designing a new one with ethernet, since timing is criticalm, open hardware of course.

I've been playing with the arduino lots and it makes it really easy to build your own controllers from whatever, light sensors, old joysticks, wiichucks. And it's cheap =). The wiimote-wiichuck combo seems to have some real potential since you can control the equivalent of 10 knobs and 4

Thanks, everyone. And thanks, Nils, for the link to Doepfer, one of the ideas that I had for building a controller is pretty much already up there. I am also working on another project in building a hammer dulcimer, so I think this PD controller project is going to be in the planning stages for a

I keep a page of some examples: http://at.or.at/hans/research/nime/hid/examples.html This would be much cooler as a wiki page somewhere. I think it would be a good thing to have somewhere on puredata.info as a wiki page. The controller is called the gametrak. .hc On Mar 17, 2008, at
