The Task

  • Task introduction.

  • Make sure you've done the above and sorted out a connection between a fairly simple device on your Arduino (say, a potentiometer) and SuperCollider.
  • Choose a relatively simple opcode/patch to operate and provide a simple demonstration of the board working with the software.
  • Clearly, I don't want you to submit your Arduinos. That means you need to submit some documentary evidence that you've completed your task. The most obvious way to do this is to submit some sort of video of your task working. If you can't do this, take photos. Bear in mind that you'll get extra marks for 'added value', so try to adapt and make more interesting your files. Simply repeating what we've already done will get minimal marks.

Alternatively

  • You might want to have a go at constructing a simple MIDI Interface. Have a look here. You can do this instead.

Finally

  • Zip or Stuff your patches, demos, etc. into one file called your_student_number_"arduino01" (e.g. 0504335_arduino01.zip or 0504335_arduino01.sit), include a readme with your name and student number and, if necessary, how to use or just open the patch, and submit the whole thing here.

The Projects

The projects and tasks are designed to help you through the various courses and materials that you'll have to deal with, and also to provide an active and practical element to what could otherwise become a rather dry and technical exercise. Tasks are small exercises - you may be asked to complete one or two per week. Projects are larger and carry a higher percentage of the mark. We will undertake two, three, four or more projects and tasks. The final project is usually an individual choice project, and will be worth significantly more than the others in terms of percentages in your portfolio. We will usually try to set aside a time to perform the projects in a public setting.
