Nintendo DS to Max to Arduino

A Nintendo DS lite is running the application KaosDS 1.2. Wireless data from the values of the touchscreen are sent to a laptop via DSMI. The laptop is running Max/MSP. The Max patch that is currently running takes the data from the DS and controls the amplitude of two sinewaves. The amplitude of one sinewave is based on the X co-ordinates and the other on the Y co-ordinates. In addition, data is also being sent to an Arduino board that controls the brightness of two LEDs (once again X and Y).

You can view the Max patch and the Arduino sketch here:

witch software did u use with nintendo ds?

[littlescale]

hmmm, KAOSDS I think it is called, you can get it from the DS MIDI WI FI site

[Intosia]

Hmm looks like my Koassilator :D

[littlescale]

huh?

[chutsu]

But I guess it'll probably be out of your scope, could you just write a tutorial for this then please!

[littlescale]

i think it is a great idea. nice one!

i will let you know when i get around to making such a tutorial. i might have time tomorrow or the next day.

Or, for the same money, you could get a MIDI controller with an X-Y touchpad...

[YoshiFan501]

ok. my hearing has been checked.

[vinceqwerty100]

nice!

@ToastyW33N Not usually on the market though.... just FYI they're usually homebrew

@radicalgarbage02

Not today.

@CompleteAndTotalJunk As far as dedicated MIDI controllers go, none that I know of. However, seeing as how many people now own smartphones, pretty much any iPhone/Android/Windows Mobile/Windows Phone/Maemo device will have some sort of MIDI controller app where you can set up your computer as a server for the client app that runs on the phone. Many of these apps are also mutli-touch aware, so you can really move the knobs, sliders and pads anyway you wish without any problems! Google it!

@radicalgarbage02 wow! what midi controllers with x/y pads send midi over wifi? would really like to know. excellent comment, btw!

[SuperLbptutorials]

cool :D

[LegoKid92]

Where do you get the parts to build it??

[TheSilentwarrior99]

@ridicalgarbage02 If you dont own a DS then you cant reuse one can you?

[radicalgarbage02]

@TheSilentwarrior99 Not everyone owns a DS...
