The rotary knobs, slider, microphone and ultrasonic sensor send the data to a computer via a microcontroller using a USB connection. The programmed microcontroller acts as a control unit, allowing the transmitted signal to be processed in real time at the receiver.
Two OLED displays show the current position of the rotary knobs as a square or circle and the slider controls the sensitivity of the sensors.
Application
The controller is intended to demonstrate the possibilities of sensors and actuators and their integration into programs such as "VVVV" or "OpenFrameworks" in a compact format. At the same time, the box is a portable toolkit for developing, testing and calibrating new ideas for interactive elements in museums as easily as possible.
