xenome: meanwhile, back at the lab...

xenome y1 prototype demo - This shows my (gradual) progress towards building a touch-based music controller. The goal is a bank of 8 touch strips with led feedback, to be software controlled via Max/MSP and/or Reaktor. This project is inspired by Brian Crabtree's magnificent monome 40h. I use an Arduino development board and programming environment, and a single MAX7221 led driver. Up to 16 MAX7221's can be cascaded together and driven from 6 pins on the Arduino to control a total of 1024 discrete leds.

soundwidget, would it be possible for you to explain this project a bit more?.. if you could check out nuigroup~com/forums/ It would be great if you could post something there explaining how you built your sensor.

Looks great :)

Will do - I have been over there looking at info for my FTIR table project. The sensor is a commercial product I got as a sample from SpectraSymbol. I just ordered 25 (their min order) 6 3/4" strips from them. They have a couple of different kinds, and shapes. Expensive, though (~$15 ea).

Thanks for the encouragement!

Wow that's looking great. I'm starting to get really excited about this project. Those bargraph LEDs look pretty good when they are stacked together like that.
