Making Max/Ableton talk Firmata/Arduino

Stepper test

Posted: July 18th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Updates | 26 Comments »

Here is a preliminary version of the stepper capable maxuino. You will need to use the customized stepperFirmata on your arduino, and add the modified MaxStepper library to your arduino library. In maxuino.help.maxpat you will see sample commands for running the stepper such as setting the speed and the number of steps you want to move (positive is one direction and negative is the other.) We are hoping to understand if this is useful and what features of the stepper process are important. For instance at the moment if you interrupt a running step series, it overrides the current location, making the stepper lose place.
We have a tightened version of the interface nearly complete, we are just working out these final issues, thank you for your patience.

File updated! (This is the last alpha version – the Max object is being written now)

Download maxuino-009.

The package uses Max’s built-in serial object to implement OpenSoundConrol (http://opensoundcontrol.org) style communication to/from the arduino-compatable hardware.

This update includes Maxuino for Ableton Live:  a device that lets you communicate with your Arduino-compatible hardware from within Ableton Live.

Maxuino v.007

Posted: January 4th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Updates | Tags: , , | 6 Comments »

Here is the latest update for maxuino. I have done some bug fixes, cleaned the interface and tried to make it more intuitive. More exciting for some of you, I have added support for servos on all digital pins in accordance with the latest Firmata version (2.1beta7) and the great work done by Shigeru Kobayashi and Hans-Christoph Steiner. Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions or requests.
