Hello
Just wanted to write about a little project I recently completed for a pop-up outdoor garden space we have set up here in liverpool. Not strictly vj related but have elements of live performance that is close to my heart from years of vj'ing.
The devices comprise of 4 wooden birdboxes equipped with speakers, stepper motors and LEDs. The devices are controlled through an Arduino Mega running the MultiStepper library and an ethernet shield. The stepper positions and led brightness is sequnced live using OSC over an ethernet shield using the wonderful ArdOSC library, the advantage being that we were able to talk to the birdboxes directly out of Ableton Live and easily address all the different parameters as well as use touchOSC for realtime control. The whole system is synced live using Ableton.
