So I have this school project I am working on in which I would like to use my monome (an open source OSC controller) to control a hacked hardware toy using Max/msp.
The hardware device has 2 pots and 2 button's... and I am planning on changing the values of the pots / buton's with the picaxe, using the monome to select the values, and max as the middle man.
So I am left with a few questions in regards to how to do this.
First in regards to how to approach programming the control on the pots... I initially wanted to use digital pots, but was thinking that it might actually be easier to control the pots through pulse width modulation. The pots I would be are 20k pots... and I will be measuring the voltages to create between 16 - 24 unique positions for the pots. What do you on the board think would be the simplest method to digitally control the pots?
Second In regards to the button's. The buttons I would be replacing are momentary, how should I approach this?
I have an idea of how to do this programing wise (Quick High/Low), would this work?
Now I am fairly new to both physical computing and Max programming, so I was just curious what steps I would be required to go through on the software side to Interface the picaxe through max. If anyone has a patch they have created that could serve as a template that would be perfect.
Thanks in Advance,
Myles
