Project 2, Assignment 3 – OSC – Lights
For the third micro assignment, Priya and myself worked together to create an OSC application that communicates between two computers. One computer takes input and the other outputs to a physical output. We decided to create a prototype of what could be turned into a controlled light array. One of our computers took in keyboard input and the other relayed the information to the arduino which turned on lights depending on the key pressed. We used three small light bulbs and mapped the keys ‘j’, ‘k’, and ‘l’ to them. For a nicer effect, we added some code to fade the light bulbs. Additionally since the lightbulbs required more than the 5V the arduino could supply, we used a transistor and external power supply to create the finished product. Below are links to the github repos with the source code. Note that the arduino code is in the LightReciever repo.
