I am taking Wiimote accelerometer data (X, Y, and Z G forces) and sending it via OSC to VVVV. I have successfully gotten the data into VVVV and I need to represent it graphically.
The G Forces update about 30 times a second, and vary from +5 to -5.
Some methods I would like to try:
Plotting the G Forces on a 2 Dimensional line graph, updated in realtime.
A 3-D representation of the G Forces using line vectors.
Taking the G Force data and calculating pitch and roll values, and using that to drive a 3-D image (3-D box pitches and rolls along with the Wiimote).
I mainly need help in using modules to manipulate the data so that I can use the graphical output windows.
Glovepie OSC and VVVV OSC have been working fine so far.
What I need advice on is what modules to connect to these inputs to help me graphically represent G-Forces.
I have tried:
a box that rotates along with the pitch and roll
A line that points in the direction of the G-Forces
A sphere that sits on the end of the line to help indicate its direction.
What I really need is some way to compare values and show the last few inputs as fading shadows or something.
yes, the queue is your node. here is a modified patch i used some time ago. it draws the graph of a value in a xy-plane, and at each value a 3d vector…
