Obi-Wan the Cursor – amazing project with the MAKE controller!

Technology


Russ has an awesome MAKE controller kit project! He writes – “I use four screens, and sometimes lose my cursor. No more! I have Obi-WanQui-Gon to point the way for me. Using the Makezine Controller, a small X program, OSC, and a pair of servo motors, I have a real-life cursor. The X program tracks the cursor, and ten times a second, sends an OSC (Open Sound Control) command using sendOSC to the controller…”Link.
