How to get the sensor data from Arduino to TouchDesigner - TD Tutorial 4

In this tutorial, we introduced the basic technique about how to get and clear the sensor data from Arduino to TouchDesigner. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

hi! how did u do the step at 9:26 (connecting the null value to the switch) thanks!

[saralomo]

thank u so much tutorials like yours help A LOT people learning, in my opinion more than schools. thank <3

Hi，I think this is the best tutorial about how to denoise the data from Arduino in TD, highly recommend this for beginners. One of my questions is I want to trigger something at a specific position, how can I do that in TD? Currently, I'm using a laser sensor for detecting the distance.

this is what i exactly need rn! Thank you so much you saved me

This is amazing!!! thanks so much for making this.

Hi Jun, do you need to write code in arduino IDE before you go into TD for the image switch? I am trying to use a mic sensor to switch movie files, e.g. when I scream it plays .mov1 and when i am quiet it plays .mov2

Thanks Always! Quick question! Can we get some data from smartwatch to touchdesigner?

Thanks Brother, good explanation. I have a question. Could the same be done with a video? That is, when something approaches the sensor, the video is played

Hi! Thanks so much for this! I have a question for you. Is there a way to recieve two different data from arduino... if I plug two ultrasonics sensors and want a datto1 and datto2, how can I do that?

Hello! The video was very helpful to me! I have a question. When I set the DAT to “Channel by per value” and the row, but it doesn’t show me any values, That's WHY？Could you solving my question? THANKS VERY MUCH!

Hello! I've been doing your tutorial but, for some reason, when I connect the null 1 to the datto1 it's not receiving any data, the sensor it's actually working and I'm receiving the data in CM but it's not appearing on the CHOPS. Do you know what's happening?

Hi great tutorial, i wanted to ask u something tho. If I were to combine not just images but video and images that can be also reactive to the sensor data that is coming from arduino can I do it? I just want it to be more aleatory, kind of a collage of images and video jumping one to another every time someone gets closer to the sensor. Is that posible? Also, have you tried doing it with 2 sensors instead of 1? can I have 2 different data inputs from arduino doing the same thing but at different speeds? Thank u very much!

Thank you so much, this is a great tutorial! I am pretty new to touchdesigner, I want to know that after I create a moving motion graph using particles, I want to change the parameter like colors (ramp), particle effect etc, how can I connect those serial data to change those parameters?

Hi, thank you very much for the tutorial, very helpful! I only started TD a few days ago so I am very, very new to this. I am trying to bring Arduino - Processing project into TD. I have three capacitive sensors in Arduino sending a number when it is touched and playing video according to the index number. I ran into a problem in TD where two numbers change to the correct image (I will replace them with video later) but I can't get the third to display the correct image. I have tried to find the problem but with no success so far. Any chance you could look at the sketch? Thank you!
