Assignment
Make sure I have all of the patches you have done up to this point. Send them as an attachment to: tzicarelli@berklee.edu
or share them with me (tzicarelli@berklee.edu) using Google Drive.
Extra Credit: Write a Max patch that
- sends out one bang when you press a key
- but if you hold the key down for 2 seconds it sends out a stream of bangs
- it resets itself when you release the key
How to import Max 5 patches into Pd
There is no easy way. Here are suggestions.

Car engine simulation
Running in Max. Uses OBD-II automobile diagnostic port.
download
https://github.com/tkzic/automax
Uses ELM 327 OBD-II bluetooth module and a car
issues
There have been connection problems with some ODB sensors. For example, the sensor may pair with the computer, but not send any data. I have found 2 sensors that work – and will be testing a 3rd one.

Extra Credit: Compose an RJDJ scene.
Sound-byte
- The sound-byte is a short audio clip of speech
- Everything in the piece is derived from the sound-byte
- The sound-byte in its original form should occur somewhere in the piece
- Duration: roughly 2-3 minutes?
- Submit a ‘draft’ version for next week – then we will revise over next 2 weeks.

OSC chat program – note: forgot to save this but it is essentially just two or more computers using [udpsend] and [udpreceive] to send text messages back and forth
Topics…
- OSC
- updpsend, udpreceive
- serial
- externals
- terminal
- curl
- API’s
- print, message object right inlet
- Max window
- attrui
- clippings
- prototypes
Useful things to know
- Pasting patches from the c74 Forum into a patcher
- Using externals (set Max path options)
- Where are the examples? (inside the application)
- Max For Live – Use it as a “shell” to give your patches Midi, audio production, recording, automation, etc.,
- vignettes
Assignment
Choose one of the Internet Sensors Projects and get it running. Tweak it to make it do something else, improve usability, or connect to another process.
Alternative: Design a Max interface to something outside of Max.
