Hello!
I'm sorry this email will be probably too amateur but I just couldn't figure out for days how to retrieve data into PD from the sensors I connect to Arduino (HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors). I have no problem viewing them on Serial Monitor of Arduino software by some libraries I found online, though processing them at PD seems a bit tricky. I have tried SimpleMessageSystem, Firmata and Pduino but couldn't really have managed in neither of them.
All I want to do is changing different parameters (frequency, loop-time, volume etc.) of playing sounds from an existing library (just a folder with songs/sounds), thus play them *accordingly *to the data I gather from sensors (10 of them). Plus making relevant changes throughout *time*. Idea is that people dancing on a dance floor can affect the sequence of electronic music played, in a collective and sensual way. Me being only a starter at PD, also, doesn't help much either; but gotta do it for my graduation. Technically I can't really "create" music like that in this short time and it's not my interest; BUT I feel like *modifying* existing music shouldn't be a big deal. No?
Any suggestions? Highly appreciated! Thank you all!! Emin
