Hello!<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m sorry this email will be probably too amateur but I just couldn&#39;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&#39;t really have managed in neither of them. </div>

<div><br></div><div>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 <i>accordingly </i>to the data I gather from sensors (10 of them). Plus making relevant changes throughout <i>time</i>. 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&#39;t help much either; but gotta do it for my graduation. Technically I can&#39;t really &quot;create&quot; music like that in this short time and it&#39;s not my interest; BUT I feel like <b>modifying</b> existing music shouldn&#39;t be a big deal. No?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Any suggestions? Highly appreciated! Thank you all!!</div><div>Emin</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
