Friday 18th/19th June 2010  “plug & play sensors + puredata workshop”

		
			This workshop it´s an introduction to the world of the analog 

sensors (light, infrared, ultrasonic, accelerometer) used to control audio, video, midi applications and also interactive installations.

we will use the “minitronics” board in order to comunicate with the computer because it´s cheap, plug&play, multiplatform and it doesn´t require any extra knowledge to use it.

we will construct during the first day a “basic” sensor controller with a pair of light sensors and a pair of potentiometers. during the second day, I will explain the different interfacing possibilities with many different softwares and also I will give and explain some puredata patches ready to “work”. (all platforms)

DAy1: Introduction

examples of applications with sensors

crash course electricity / safety..

how to connect the sensors to the board

soldering intro / alternatives to soldering

Hands on…..

DAy 2 how to send midi to any standard midi application.

Puredata introduction

how to scale data from the sensors

how to “clean” data from the sensors.

audio basics in pd (foto-theremin, sampler-scratching.. )

video basics in pd.

personal requests,,,,
