some example code for using headgear (as requested earlier) and the esitar on the ChucK site:
Thanks, Ajay! I also put up the 3rd file that you sent - E-Sitar + 8 robotic turntables (interesting). The framework posted should be generic enough to handle pretty much any MIDI device - the headgear skeleton code simply catches messages from the 2 axis accelerometer - the data ranges in the innermost if statements are hard-coded to match the output of the microcontroller that's reading the accelerometers. Other parts of the program specific to the E-Sitar mapping have been replaced by: // ************************************************************************ ********** // replace the following with useful code... // - change ugen parameter(s), // - connect / disconnect ugens // - spork a shred, // - or machine.add() a new program on the on-the-fly // - something else // ************************************************************************ ********** chout => "type: " => type => " data1: " => data1 => " data2: " => data2 => endl; It might not be much help to Jerry's headtracker, at least until we put mouse / serial support into ChucK (they are on the list). But for now, it illustrates one way to handle real-time input by polling. The code could be further simplified once there are arrays, events, and switch statements...

This has been corrected to May 25th, 2005. Thanks, Jerry, for catching this. Best, Ge!
