BeagleBone Black: Connecting Sensors to a Pd Patch

July 13, 2015 By John Moeller

This tutorial explains how to sample the input from a sensor (i.e., a photoresistor) connected to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) on the BBB using a Python script. It also describes how to send that data to the application Pure Data (Pd). Furthermore, it shows how to use the data in Pd to control a parameter […]
