getting to know max msp
i tried to run two counters at the same time to create two different melodies playing simultaneously but it didn't work
29.4.2021: sound and video analysis
i followed the tutorials and added the object "print" to both patches
interesting project:

(light sensor of an arduino connected to max msp)
6.5.2021
Arduino light sensor + LED pin
Problems / Questions:
When i try to connect the scale to the slider the led pin and the built in led starts blinking fast and i can't control the led pin with the light sensor
I guess something is either not connected or converted in Max correctly Maybe outputting directly from arduino serial monitor (you find it under tools in arduino software) could give a hint. Or perhaps Max console/message could give an idea
What is the meaning of the select numbers "13, 10, 50, 51"?
"13" stands for the beginning of the line and "10" stands for the new line. Usually, they are both used at the same time to define the beginning and the new line: more here https://www.arduino.cc/reference/tr/language/functions/communication/serial/println/
And the three numbers in between (50, 51 and should be one more) stand for ascii code to define a real integer number
Project idea:
As a project i want to create an installation that resembles some kind of "escape room". The main goal of the installation is that its participants get to know max msp better and create some simple things with the programm or an arduino.
The participants have to complete certain tasks by interacting with max msp an the arduino. They have to experiment with different parameters (visuals, sound, etc.) and deliver certain results. After they delivered the wanted results they completed the installation, know more about max msp, how it works, what it can do and are hopefully a bit curious about the programm.
Tasks could include (rough ideas): - Finding the computer with the max msp programm by calling it. (max patch: max patch should react to a certain level of noise and output noise as an answer) - Working with the light sensor: finding the darkest(/lightest) spot in the room by using the light sensor / max should output different visuals depending on the light, participants create a piece of art - Participants have to use the webcam through max and take a picture of themselves - Etc.
Technical setup: Different max patches have to be created. The participants who have no former knowledge of max msp should be able to work with the patches, but at the same time it should not be too easy, but a challenge to get everything running and the participants should have to experimetn a bit with the patches.
