Fresh hacks every day
[Marcus] wrote a guide to using TouchOSC to control your projects. He sent a link to us after reading our feature about using Open Sound Control for Arduino without an Ethernet shield. He's been using that method for quite some time now, but takes it one step further by using a smartphone as a control device. He designs his own user interface for the iPhone using TouchOSC. This is a package which … [Read more...]
Open Sound Control (OSC) is a communications protocol that can be seen as a modern alternative to MIDI. It's specifically designed to play nicely with network communication systems. The problem with using it along with Arduino-based gadgets is that you then need to use something like an Ethernet shield to provide the network connection. [Liam Lacey] decided to use Processing as a go-between for … [Read more...]
There was a time when a drummer would grab some sticks and lay out a groove using the items around him as instruments. [Lsa Wilson] would rather not work quite that hard and has chosen to do the same thing by tapping on an iPhone screen. As you can see in the clip after the break, many of the items in the room around him have been fitted with solenoids. Each is connected to an Arduino which is … [Read more...]
Have you been working on a MIDI controller that uses RFID to identify and control different instruments? No? Neither have we but now we're going to have to look into it. That's because [Martin.K] has done a lot of the work for us. His nfOSC package links an RFID reader to the Open Sound Control library. In the video after the break we see [Martin] placing RFID tags onto a Touchatag reader. With … [Read more...]
