Hi!

I whipped together a blog post that shows
how I made my solar panel/water controller to send input to Pd. The patch used is more of a proof of conecpt (I am new to Pd). I would be interested if someone else has ideas of other things to control in Pd with this type of hardware?

Regards,

Peter

cool idea.

the obvious next step is to scale the input and route it to the pitch of the oscillators for some water theremin action

Neat! I remember one of my friends in Montreal was involved in an installation in which the audience walked around in pools of water that generated the multimedia show.

Looks like a pretty simple and easy to reproduce setup, too, good job Pete

Yeah, it really is a great idea! I made it too after reading your blog Peter, and had a lot of fun with it!

I made a patch to control gem images with the solar panel, too. I'll post it here as soon as I get something descent out of it.
