[PD] Connection with sensors - new devices?

[Koray Tahiroglu]

hello Hans,

I made couple of test patches just to see the range and the stability  
of the values that I receive from sensors. At the moment, I am  
testing ultrasound sensor and also self made solar panel board  
sensor. After this weekend I will begin to construct my final patches  
for a gig that will be on 14th of January. I can upload the patches  
on PD site. During our Arduino+PD workshop two weeks ago, we  
basically started to develop your multi-sensor patch, which actually  
David had changed couple of things during a previous workshop in  
Vancouver. All in all i think it is such a nice idea to make easy-to- 
use framework for sensor boxes. Especially most of the Mac OS X users  
have problems with comport communication.

Koray.
