Simulation of mysterious dune sound.

Using Ableton Live instrument racks.
Here’s an attempt at replicating the set. Start the clip. Adjust instrument rack dials, or play using Midi: singing dunes
We copied the settings from screen shots in these videos:
Another one along the same lines

“The test used NASA’s Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocol, which the space agency a decade ago jointly developed with TCP/IP co-inventor and Google VP Vint Cerf. The technology can withstand delays and disruptions that might be common in space due to long distances and obstacles like planets and solar storms. Unlike Internet Protocol, which establishes an end-to-end connection before sending data, DTN moves data node-to-node, and can wait for connections to open up before relaying information to further nodes.”

I have annotated a version of Weather Report to help understand how XML data is converted into OSC style data, for example:
<thing> value </thing>
gets converted into
/thing value
Local version of patch is weather_report in max teaching examples

Wheel sensor , from a wired (not wireless) bicycle speedometer (aka cyclocomputer) The sensor must perform like a reed switch, which is binary, rather than use the magnet on the spoke to vary the inductance. We used a Sigma Sport BC 500, which costs $15, but the city of Portland gives them to residents free, to encourage bicycling! Ask a bike shop if they can sell you just the wheel sensor part, without the computer and display.

Arduino code for measuring reed switch and magnet

We are trying to measure RPM of a bicycle wheel by reading the accelerometer data stream of a Wiimote wedged between the spokes of the wheel.
When the wii-mote is in the bicycle wheel it generates a stream of numbers much like a sine wave. Lets say we want to just get the speed of the wheel. It would be the frequency of these ‘sine’ pulses.
Strategy: use [past] object send a bang once each cycle. Then use a tap-tempo patch to convert pulses into bpm, mph, etc.,
