I-CubeX Forum

So I used 6 ReachClose sensors at the same time with the USB-microSystem. The I-Cube-X editor worked very well mapping MIDI messages from the 6 sensors so i could use them on VVVV. The reading of an average hand worked best from about 20-40 cm distance from each of the sensors. I was throwing fog be...

Good! Thank you.

Hi I have 8 reach ReachFar sensors. On the Processing preset inside I-CubeX editor there is no entry for "ReachFar" there are only Reach V2, Reach V3, ReachClose and ReachOn. I don't want to set up the editor with a wrong sensor. For example i don't know if Reach V2 or Reach V3 are previou...

Thanks Tech thats useful information.
I will make some tests and publish the results here.

Hello

Have anybody tried to use more than one ReachClose in the same application?
I want to sense the position of the hand in a row of ReachClose sensors.
The application will be a laser harp > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_harp .

My setup can be something like this:
<-- hand moves up, down, left, right -->
↑__↑__↑__↑__↑__↑__↑__↑__↑__↑__↑__↑
Each arrow represents a sensor pointing upwards.

The position of the hand over any sensor determines the instrument. The distance to that sensor by blocking the laser beam modulates the sound for that instrument.
The sensors are going to work independent of the lasers but very close to them so that it appears that the lasers themselves are doing the sensing.

What will be the minimum amount of space between the different ReachClose sensors? The width of a hand?

Thanks.
