Emotional Stuff
Emotionally, surrendering the process of danger avoidance to a machine would elicit nervousness in the viewer and intermittent fear in the participant.
Technical Stuff
The Plan
I had intended for this to be a really effective PID driven control of my arm.
This would have had some level of novelty and significance.
Using industrial control technology, precise positioning of my muscles could have been possible.
The Reality
PID is confusing. There is no documentation of a smooth implementation of PID in maxMSP.
Also, using an audio amplifier and a tone generated from maxMSP resulted in more painful and extremely inconsitent levels of effectiveness when compared to the commercial EMS unit.
