Make Controller Kit - open source sensor interface runs OSC

October 16, 2006 - 3:09pm — liamstask

The Make Controller Kit is a high-performance 32-bit sensor interface featuring Ethernet, USB, ADC, high-current outputs, JTAG, many kinds of motor control (DC, servo, stepper), CAN, RS232, and more by MakingThings.

The board by default runs a program that allows it to connect to other devices via OSC over Ethernet and USB. It's also easily reprogrammed via USB to run user-written programs standalone/embedded. It's easy to connect to any of the normal desktop environments that support OSC - Max/MSP, Processing, Flash, SuperCollider, etc.

We're hoping to expand the ways that the board can use OSC - we've already implemented it over USB and are looking forward to getting it going over TCP as well. Lots more info at www.makingthings.com/makecontrollerkit

How can we go about adding this project to the list of implementations on opensoundcontrol.org?

Ahh, this is good to know.

I am glad I stumbled onto this page. This will come in handy sometime for me.

Thanks.

Here you can download MCK: makingthings.com/resources/downloads
I test MCK with .net c#, all works fine

MAKE controller

Yep, I just bought a MAKE controller. I was intending to use it with Processing. I had no idea you had to use OSC to ... interface between the MAKE controller and Processing. But the MAKE controller didn't come with any documentation, not even a pamphlet. This looks like it is going to be more complicated than I thought. What do I do now?

You can find reference

You can find reference documentation for MakingThings software libraries here :

http://www.makingthings.com/resources/reference

Include Firmware API, .NET C# Library, Flash/FLOSC Extension and OSC on the Make Controller (The Make Controller communicates via OSC (OpenSoundControl). This documents the OSC layout of the Make Controller).
