The other week, I progressed with connecting to the Arduino Nano with BNO055 via Bluetooth module HC-05. As described in a previous post, BNO055 is an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer in one device. I intend to implement BNO055 into the glove and use it to control the spatial panning. Basically sending the sound into particular spot in the certain direction by pointing out into that direction inside of the octaphonic ring.

I used the help of ChatGPT to generate the code for Arduino Nano, which will wirelessly send raw data of the position of three axes, x, y, and z, to the computer.

The video below shows that the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE receives raw data in the form of numbers from three axes: x, y and z. The cable is used here only to power the Arduino. This will be, of course, replaced by the battery power.

The next stage will be creating a Max device so I can implement the x, y and z data and transcript them into MIDI, which will be possible to map to a Max For Life device called Surround Panner.
