Fun With LIS30DL

I'm really excited about building the Evening Song piece for my space. It's actually going to be pretty easy I think. This is a lo-fi cap of some work in that direction. Here I am controlling 3 midi channels with the X, Y, and Z vectors of the LIS30DL accelerometer (Cheapest one Sparkfun carries). I use Processing's Serial library to interpret the sensor data and TheMidiBus (MIDI library) to convert the sensor data into midi notes. This is good progress to me due to the fact that I know very little about MIDI. I use Mac's built in IAC Bus drivers to make the data available to other programs. Lastly, I use a few super simple midi instruments in Ableton Live to give voice to the data. Warning, setting up a rig like this will steal hours of your life, I find giving this a break very challenging. There is a lot of opportunity to drive video with a set up like this as well. I see lot's of potential.
