Sending Arduino inputs into Pd or Max?

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to send inputs from an Arduino board, let say a sensor signal, into Pd or Max ; can we manipulate non-audio signalscoming from the board in these softwares ? Or is there a way to convert signal from a sensor, numerized via Arduino, into a format file exploitable via Pd/Max, i.e. plotting a curve Y (signal) f(time), or making some data treatment on it (multiplication, frequence filters, send it back to the Arduino board...) ?

Thank you.

Yes this is perfectly possible, see:-

Pduino was useful for me when I was doing something similar, and seemed a lot easier to get working with my Arduino than when I tried using Maxuino.
If you go with Pduino, this document seems helpful: www.schebella.com/arduinopaper.pdf

Hello,

Perfect, thank to both of you, I will study these solutions !

Have a nice day.
