Update idea ( more detail )

File:Tumbleweed idea.pdf

1.

Establish a certain way of plant manipulation. We can know that plants communicate with each other through chemical signals, electrical signals and other signals. While reading these signals, transform them into abstract dynamic images, or the computer can read these signals and issue instructions to control the next action.

2.

Tumbleweed It is a plant-like device that rolls around the street, looking for something, like a tumbleweed, that will be blown by the wind or moved by people. It is an intruder of this environment, and it did not belong to this environment at the beginning.

3.

According to the environmental changes of people and space (temperature, humidity or light intensity and sound frequency), the peculiar effect of a real-time video is changed in real time.

4.

Create a plant simulation machine, it is a machine, but all actions simulate the life characteristics of the plant. Photosynthesis, absorption of water, exhalation of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide, etc.

Experiments

01 Play around on Max and getting to know the interface of Max  22.04
  ( Careful , the sound is quite loud )
 
02 Sound to text & video analysis
  Sound to text   File:Assignment 2 audio.maxpat 
  Video analysis
03 Converting analog signal to digital to analog
  Firstly, try example file inside Maxmsp, due to the port of Arduino cannot be found
  File:02cSerialCommunication.maxpat
  Then test signal
  File:Analog to digital.maxpat
