hi ian
i had a quick look at your page.. looks interesting there is already an open source midi controller project using the pic18f at http://ucapps.de/ thorsten has written a whole midi os for the pic called mios (if midi is ok for you to interface with pd that is.. if not there is a new pic18f with onboard usb2.0.. which may make things a little easier)
A friend and I wanted to build an OSC system for the PIC, but the ethernet implementation from scratch turned out to be more complicated than he had anticipated. I've put it on a backburner because of the availability and ease of MIDI stuff like this, even though I have a superstitious aversion to MIDI.
i am interested in using sensors in dance work and installations.. on my to do list is to develop a sensor module for the midibox.. if one is required (it already supports up to 64 analogue inputs)... have you tried building any sensors yet? i'm trying to find out if additional opamps etc. are needed if long cables are used.. my plan is to use xlr cables to connect the sensors to the box.. anyway, i'm interested to hear from you (and from anyone else on the list who has built sensors)
I haven't built anything beyond testing potentiometers yet, but my next project is to build an ultrasonic one. Flex sensors are also really easy to make (as per Mark Coniglio's "MIDI dancer"). I also want to look into the RF PICs as a solution to long cables, which tend to get in the way of dancing ;)
The thing is, for dance, a lot can be done with cameras, PDP, and/or Eyesweb.
I'm looking into all of that soon, so stayed tuned on the page, as I'll add tutorials for it all as I learn it.
Cheers, Ian
best wishes adam

Hi all,
I've written up some tutorials for interfacing Microchip PICs with PD. It's light on the PD side of things at the moment, but there's more to come. Let me know what you think.
