So we took a crack at making the pure data sketch , as iv had little exsprince with this software phoebe took the lead with me making sure the ardunio was set up correctly. We started simple after putting fermarter on the ardunio we made sure we could get the sensor readings from the first pressure pad. this was successful and using the example Hannah had gave use we were able to change the sound of the occerlator. We then looked at playing our own sounds in pure data.
So off to youtube we went where we did find a video that allowed us to do exacly that here is the link

after we got this working after a couple of tries we wanted to try the control aspect, after a while we could not find a way of being able to change the pitch of this sound or play our own sound depending on a certain value to play a certain track . We found a video on making a if statement but we were unable to get it working correctly. As the deadline was fast approaching we decided to give up with pure data and move to ardunio with a raspberry pi as iv done audio work with those two in the past thanks to my pretend humanoid robot .
We have also decided to reduce the number of control sensors down for this performance to 1 weight and 1 inferred sensor . One for the sea and one for the sand elements. We like the idea of turning this into an interactive peace for primary school children and hopefully they will still be able to change the sound that play. Since the new device will be completely stand alone there is no need for a computer to go with it as long as they have power ether from mains or battery the device will run on its own making it able t fit in a mussuem nicely.
