Mike, i'd be interested in participating. not a hardware hacker per say but i have been making experimental audio work for quite some time. actually just started a record label a couple of months ago (http://phaserprone.com) --> website is currently being overhauled... my own solo stuff is at: http://hsdom.com - jochen On Jun 30, 2006, at 2:57 PM, mike clemow wrote:
Are there any hardware hackers in the crowd? I would love to hear about the crazy interfaces anyone has connected to Chuck. I've started an experimental music/multimedia group here in NYC quite recently and people have some interest in using computers with homebrew interfaces. (By the way, I'm introducing them to Chuck ;-) ) Anyway, I'd love to hear some anecdotes about adventures with Chuck and human interface hardware. Or pictures?
Oh, and anyone in area who wants to participate is more than welcome.
Cheers, Mike

What I meant was that I was under the impression that computer shops would sell usb-paralel converters for a few bucks that would have generalised drivers and would make the whole point of the new Macs lacking old ports moot. I mean; cameras, joypads and heaven knows what plug into computers without the need for any drivers these days so I asumed the same whould hold true for ports. I would be very surprised if that wouldn't be true. I'd also be surprised if this would cost more then 10 or so Euro.
This would give everybody blinking leds as opposed to just those with laptops that have oldfashioned ports (which is getting increasingly rare regardless of of the brand).
Kas.
You could do that, but it would require you to build (or find) a device with a USB controller to do the job for you, which'll cost you time, and a little money. (As opposed to the PC's parallell port where you more or less would be fine with a few pieces of wire and a few diodes.) But it's all a matter of dedication, of course, you wouldn't be the first one to create a USB device.
