The patches from class are here: animated-theater-6-11.2012

Here are a few places to search if you want to know whether something is possible in Max:

• Cycling ’74 Forum: Many years of conversation among max users; use the Advanced Forum Search to see of someone else has come across your inquiry
• MaxObjects.com: Excellent database of 3-rd Party development for Max; this are patches and externals made by people outside of Cycling ’74 that do cool and quirky things.
• Jitter Recipe Books by Andrew Benson: A great set of “simple” Max patches for advanced video applications; excellent tutorials for advanced Jitter work.

Here are the patches I made in class today that demonstrate simple motion tracking controlling a LED, motion tracking for assessing activity in zones, sensor connected to playback speed and filter parameters of a sound file, sensor connected to servo with recording/playback i.e. memory.

Remember also to download the newest version of Maxuino; throw out the old version (alpha-12) and replace it with the new (alpha-13).  This version allows you to save the settings of your teensy (i.e. serial port, pin-mode, …).

• Make a circuit that allows you to connect four or more LEDs to a Teensy microcontroller on a breadboard
• Make a circuit that allows you to connect one or more photocells/photoresistors to a Teensy microcontroller on the same breadboard
• Create a Max patch that allows you to sequence the twinkling of the LEDs, in correspondence with the incoming sensor values from the photocell/photoresistor

I’ve uploaded the two Max patches from class today; feel free to use them, or parts of them to help you complete the assignment.

I’ve created a page called Software under the instructions heading; you will also find it in the right column of our blog.

Please follow the instructions in that page to download and install all the necessary software for your computer before arriving to class on Monday Mar. 26, 2012.
