Snyderphonics Manta Controller, a Novel USB Touch-Controller
نویسنده
چکیده
The Snyderphonics Manta controller is a USB touch controller for music and video. It features 48 capacitive touch sensors, arranged in a hexagonal grid, with bi-color LEDs that are programmable from the computer. The sensors send continuous data proportional to surface area touched, and a velocitydetection algorithm has been implemented to estimate attack velocity based on this touch data. In addition to these hexagonal sensors, the Manta has two high-dimension touch sliders (giving 12-bit values), and four assignable function buttons. In this paper, I outline the features of the controller, the available methods for communicating between the device and a computer, and some current uses for the controller.

Flying a Manta with Gesture and Controller: An Exploration of Certain Interfaces in Human-Robot Interaction
We document and discuss a number of interface explorations conducted while building a cable-array robotic sculpture in the form of a fiberglass bio-mimetic flying manta ray. Our two primary interface devices were a gesture sensing Essential Reality P5 glove and a Microsoft Xbox 360 game controller. We also offer a conceptual design space comprising three axes: mapping, frame of reference, and i...
متن کاملUsing the Touch Screen as a Controller for Portable Computer Music Instruments
Using mobile devices as instruments in computer music is one of the goals of the “Pure Data anywhere” project [5]. An obstacle we encounter is controllability, because most of the devices do not offer the necessary interface, such as MIDI or USB, in order to be controlled by external controllers. Also, attaching external controllers to the devices would make them less portable. This paper inves...

This paper presents design and implementation of Model Based Predictive Controller (MPC) for a novel Bi-Rotor Moving Mass Controlled (MMC) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Due to the strict constrained control inputs in this type of UAV, it is necessary to take into account the constrained controller design and un-constrained control methods are not applicable. MPC controller which is designed ba...

This paper introduces a novel control methodology based on fuzzy controller for a glucose-insulin regulatory system of type I diabetes patient. First, in order to incorporate knowledge about patient treatment, a fuzzy logic controller is employed for regulating the gains of the basis Proportional-Integral (PI) as a self-tuning controller. Then, to overcome the key drawback of fuzzy logic contro...
متن کاملVulnerability to Flash Controller for Secure USB Drives
This paper analyzes a vulnerability in the flash controller for secure USB drives, which is meant to enable secure USB drives to prevent unauthorized access to the data stored on them. This controller divides a driver into several partitions, one of which is configured as a secure area to store secret information. Generally, secure USB drives supporting multiple partitions may have three differ...
