Interaction with Arduino & Max – Workshop series / On-demand
Membership plan: Getting Started | Topics: Creative Coding
What you'll learn
- Create Arduino based electronic prototypes
- Control audio in Max 8 with sensors and your own custom hardware interfaces
- Utilize Max to map software interactions to physical electronic systems
- Apply interaction design concepts for developing installations and performances
Who is this course for?
- Want your Arduino to control audio, video, generative 3D visuals, or even Ableton Live? Combine Arduino with Max 8, a powerful visual programming environment opens up many possibilities for interactive installation, generative art, multimedia performance, and more! You will learn very basic electronics, introductory Arduino skills, and how to use sensors and inputs to control Max 8!
