But enough talk, here's the video:
As you will have noticed, it's not very accurate and does not replace a real guitar yet ;) Maybe I'll improve it when I have some more time on my hands.
You will probably also have noticed that one of the SunSPOTs, the neck, is still connected over USB. This is because the battery is broken and cannot be charged, so I have to draw power over USB. It would probably rock much more if neither of the SPOTs would be connected.
The software is written in Java: The stuff on the SunSPOTs as well as the application running on the PC. MIDI output from the PC application is redirected to Reason using MIDI Yoke.
At the end of the week I'll post the source code and a little tutorial for those interested in playing air guitar as well :)
Cool stuff dude !

Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!!
ReplyDeleteWhen are you posting your code?
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI am planning to give a presentation about SunSpots at an international SCADA conference, and I would love to include your clip.
Do you have the video in a Powerpoint-appropriate format? :^]}
If so, send me an e-mail:

Hey Frederik,
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Kudo's to you for making this first.
The SunSPOT air guitar is a concept worth expanding. I'll play around with your code on my own SPOTs and see what I can meaningfully add.
Kind Regards,
