Using Arduino IDE?
Essentially what I am doing is this.
I have this system, of a mic stand, battery powered USB fan, string and plumb bob.
The USB fan moves about indeterminately .
A MPU6050 gyroscopic sensor is attached to the system, probably on the plumb bob.
That is connected to the Arduino which is connected to the computer.
In theory programming the Arduino to pass the MPU6050 data to the computer is pretty straight forward but I may need someone more experienced with this sort of stuff to check it over.
Once the data is in Max I can scale it very easily and use it for all sorts of creative/manipulative processes.
In my installation there will be two of these systems, one in the left speaker and one in the right speaker- to allow a compare/contrast between two ostensibly identical systems generating different data.

it is designed to be minimally interactive.
Fan is not controllable- the idea is to exploit indeterminacy of the fan for a musical goal.
Controlling it would subvert that.

Or even this which is actually indistinguishable from an actual meshuggah album
Next step is to get the numbers to do something musical.

I've done similar things with a system called Makey Makey.
Here is the finished build.
I need to film the finished installation now.
