In order to read the light from the Pyrocystis I wanted to use a Photo Cell connected to Arduino that sends the information to Max.
Patches used:
- Arduino: File:Photocell_to_Max.ino
- Max MSP: File:ReceiveDataFromPhotocell.maxpat
Unfortunately this Photo Cell is not sensible enough for the light emitted by the plankton. I am thus using the Adafruit TSL2561.
