Distance sensor

[QuentinM]

Hi, I have a motion sensor, the “Sharp 2Y0A21”, and I would like to connect it to the daisyseed (to then manage a parameter of a patch in plug data). This sensor operates with a voltage of 5V, how do I connect it to a daisy ADC?

Quick Guide on Setting Up a Custom JSON File for pd2dsy & Oopsy!

Hello everyone! We’re planning on making a video about audio I/O and custom JSON file in the near future (I actually have both scripts nearly complete!). In the meantime, I wanted to put together a quick guide on how to set up a custom JSON file for the Daisy Seed so that you can control your synth with a sensor! The goal of this tutorial is to change the pitch of an oscillator by twisting a potentiometer that you connected to the Seed! Let’s get started! – Here, we have [r knob @hv_param] …

I linked to a video that shows you how to connect a potentiometer to the Daisy and you can apply the info in that tutorial to that particular distance sensor.

Let us know how it goes

I missed this answer. The sensor doesn’t provide great feedback because it’s supposed to be powered by 5 volts. I’ve seen other sensors like the RCWL-1601 or the US-100 (from Adafruit) that only require a 3 volt power supply, but I don’t know how to connect them or how to compile the json file to use them in plug data in this case.
