Cutting the Last Cord!

27/3/2018

My wireless Xvive U2 has arrived! I can now play and dance circles around our dancers! I have noticed that with the way the transmitter folds over, if it is pointing towards where the Arduino sits, then it will rattle when I play. But if it is turned in any other direction it's fine. I actually tried unplugging both the transmitter and receiver and shook them in my hands. There definitely is something rattling around inside both of them, but I think they're ok. I also bought a mini travel router so there would be a stronger wifi connection for my Arduino. I just pray that there are no wireless issues between now and Bang! Festival.

    Welcome to the TRAVIS blog!

    ​If you would like to see a summary of my work, please click here.  

    This blog is where I post updates on TRAVIS I & II as I continue developing them.
    TRAVIS I is an augmented violin that uses two Softpot sensors on the fingerboard to control sound fx, and two FSR's to bang presets.
    ​
    My wired prototype, uses an Arduino Lilypad USB. It was made by myself, and under the supervision of Dr. Bob Pritchard. 

    The wireless version uses an Arduino MKR1000. There was a group of engineering students who collaborated with SUBCLASS. Their names are Jin Han, Esther Mutinda, Carol Fu, and Lily Shao. For their own capstone they are utilized the same MKR1000 for the RUBS (Responsive User Bodysuit).  They named their capstone, WiRED (Wireless RUBS Environment Development). I have been modifying their work for my own purposes, as well as collaborating by making pieces with RUBS. 
    Bob Pritchard continues the RUBS project with TASTE. 

    TRAVIS II is was made in collaboration with Lora Oehlberg and luthier, Aaron Pratte. 

    It has four touch sensors​ made from conductive 3D print PLA and a voltage running down the strings. It also has four round FSRs clamped to the body. 

    You can find a videos and performances here. 

    A summary of my wifi connection troubleshooting can be found here.
