[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Isadora/Arduino

[Helena Schniewind]

Hi Dan,

I was looking into this about a year ago and ended up not getting as far 
as creating triggers beyond keyboard commands with my project. I know 
the Isadora forums have been crying for this smooth interfacing for a 
while now and that there was discussion of it on the Arduino forums as well.

Looks like there is new activity in the "communications and sensors" 
section at the Isadora Forum:

Including a patch!

I'm interested in getting this to work too and know of another local 
Isadora user who would probably be curious if you'd like to have some 
teamwork to try and get this working. Feel free to ping me off list.

Best wishes,
Lena M. (just changed the last name!)
