!!Step Motors and the ArtBus

Using the [ArtBus|http://sprocket.telab.artic.edu/Artbus/], a micro-controller designed at the Art Institute of Chicago (in development), for controlling a step motor. The project began during the FACE workshop, it will be hopefully used to control a video camera (or a microphone, or anything) remotely via an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) bot. (more soon) /ad

!!!Software
In this case we use python code to send the messages to the ArtBus but is possible to use puredata or any other software that can talk to the serial port. Robb coded an OSC interface that serves as a mediator to allow comminication via the OpenSoundControl protocol. The code will be added to this page as soon as is properly tested.

!!!Uses

Here, a little video clip that shows the interaction flow from irc chat lines (!east or !west) to python commands sent via serial communication to the ArtBus (or arduino, or whatever microcontroller board)
