1. sensors for new musical instruments Roberto Aimi

2. typical controller system sensors acquisition system (Icube, PIC, Basic Stamp) mapping software (Max, PD, ?) output(?)

3. useful resources Fraden, a handbook of modern sensors MSI piezo manual acroname.com, infusion systems ($$$!!!!) Datasheets!

4. other favorite resources Digi key American science and surplus smallparts.com Mcmaster-Carr / MSC industrial catalogs

5. what to sense? position, velocity, acceleration, rotation temperature, light, sound pressure, torque, bending ON/OFF ?

6. Switches discrete output toggle, normally on, off can provide visual and tactile feedback

7. The hands -- Michel Waisvisz 1984 - present

8. Roland TR-808

9. Potentiometers common types: linear taper, audio taper (log) rotary, linear, multiturn +V ref GND V out

10. Variable resistors V output Variable resistor R2 R1 Vout = Vref R2/(R1+R2)

11. Bend Sensor

12. FSR resistance drops when pressed
