hi guys,
we are doing a max/msp project here at the interactive digital media, at ravensbourne college, uk, and decided to use arduino instead of the teleoboards they have here.
the project is a mixer, where we have 4 digital inputs (switches) and an analog one (weight sensor). we have to send this 5 informations to max so our patch can work the mixer.
at the london workshop, we've learnt how to send the serialport read to max, that's ok. the problem now is how to separate the informations. because we have a weight sensor constantly sending the information to max (byte values), we are not been able to tell when does a switch is turned on and off; it is sent together with the bytes of the weight sensor.
so, question: how to differentiate the serial information? how to tell which switch is on and off and still get the weight sensor information without scrambling everything?
thanks, tchau!
