led stripe control

pagina223's picture

hi!,

i'm trying to simulate a 10 different animated led stripes working together. i will have control over each pixel of the stripe and i don't know how to do.

i've tried with iterators, line structure, etc... and neither works to have control about each pixel. Anybody knows what's the best patch (or method) to reach my goal?...

This is a composition that:

-Constructs a grid of colored objects, with different controls for color generation.

-Monitors mouse x/y and allows an object to push/pop in Z, and/or spin in x/y or z rotation if the mouse hovers over an object.

-Configures a color crossfade on the object as it returns back to the "home" position of the color grid.

-Controls for force and decay of the hit effect.

-Configurable columns and rows that adjust to the rendering destination.

...and that's the gist of it.

I'm sharing this composition to show a way of using an iterator that will make one or more object parameters change after they are triggered.

I used a modified version of this for this video post:

Arduino

I was able to use the Serial IO patch with my Arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/) to send a string to it and control an LED on/off, but I wasn't able to use the analog output to control the intensity of the light.

So that got me thinking that maybe you could make an Arduino patch that would make it easy to work with it from QC. I think that your best bet would be to use the Firmata firmware.
