Musical Plants
When we first started this project, we were shown the capabilities of the ESP32 for the purposes of interactive art though this simple musical plant.
Arduino IDE:
Begin by downloading the following Arduino IDE File:

MAXMSP:
It might look scary, but its actually quite simple!
UDP receive is getting the message sent out by the Arduino IDE. Then it is parsing all that touch information out into separate lists of values.
Try double clicking on "Scale". It should open something like this:
You can adjust these lists and change the thresholds of information tha they take in. Play around getting closer or further from the plant and see where the values are at each state. Then touch the plant. What are the values now?
Once you have decided the acceptable range of touch that you want you can write this into MAXMSP and change how sensitive your plant is!
