Really cool, I'd love to see this applied to some kind of motion capture setup. You could be on to a very economical mocap system here. Keep up the good work.
awesome! i am a vfx artist who is getting into houdini as well. where did you start to learn to interface hardware w/ houdini? i've always wondered about it.
@hoptoad Hi there, for the arduino side, I bought a kit that starts from the basics, and part of it also teaches about serial communications. Once I understood how that worked, I then used the same connections settings with python to get some tests working. Once that worked, I then implemented python code inside houdini for interfacing. This is by no means the only solution, and it is not exactly fast. hths!
