The FreeIMU project was open (and is probably no longer maintained). We can expect sensors, processors and transmitters to be updated regularly, so I prefer to avoid defining a reference hardware. Simply, a head tracking gizmo could be able to work with any software that requires it, so the more open the better. The protocol is probably more important than the hardware, which could vary. > * FSSC = Fast and Simple Sound Control. The name is the aim... :-D OSC is not ideal for slow links, because it requires a minimum of 24 bytes to send a single value... The Firmata protocol could be a better choice: https://github.com/firmata http://firmata.org/wiki/Design_Issues -- Marc _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
