Reading data from sensors to control lights and motors connected to a computer via an Arduino, is a breeze if you know how to. The same is true for working with data transfer protocols like OSC, MIDI, MQTT and DMX/ArtNet. Learn all this without the need to write any code, by using the visual programming environment vvvv.

What the vvvv?

vvvv is a visual programming environment that allows you to realize ideas quickly without the need to write any code. But if you want, you can also write C# code for it and use any .NET library with it! To give you an idea of the areas vvvv can be helpful in, here is a list of buzz words vvvv is often associated with:

Generative Design
Interaction Design
Data Visualization
Computer Vision
Rapid Prototyping
Physical Computing
Projection Mapping
Show Control

You will learn how to:

Work with the visual programming environment vvvv (gamma)
Talk to sensors and motors with an Arduino using Firmata
Send and receive data via OSC
Use DMX/ArtNet to control lights
Use MIDI to talk to musical devices
Dive into IOT using MQTT

Requirements:

Bring a Windows laptop
Bring a 3 button mouse
No prior knowledge of vvvv needed
