Final day

I got rid of the functions that I don't know and the switch that I can't handle. But it at least fulfilled the basic thing I asked. I really hope that I could have a little LED screen attach on my cloth. Therefore I can listen to my music with tapping the BPM counter. As long as I tap alone the beat, my cloth gonna display the tempo at my chest, that's gonna be awesome aye.

Jams email me back

I forget to change the text box at the bottom to make the two name constant. But I checked the code, it doesn't make any different to the one I sent. How can I go full screen version?

Where are you?

I asked my friend a favor to come up put my switch on. This guy didn't turn up eventually. I've never did those stuff before, I just have no idea which wire goes to which terminal of the switch, there are six terminals in one switch.
Buttons are easier, cause its only got two terminals. I found a pieces of plastic to protect the button. I stick it on a sleeve of my jacket even though it's not fashion neither strong.

Got problem for output numbers

I found out the function called render from the example patch, which is able to output text in 3D. I want to add a video on to it, but I didn't figure out how to mix render with jt mix as well as I didn't find a real slider in the store. Lets make it straight way, use the function which is already exist.

Everything is set up!


It's not that bad to spend me 50 dollars to buy those stuff, I thought i solder iron gonna cost hundred bucks. But why do they charge 20 bucks for half day when 30 can purchase a brand new one?

I can't wait it anymore

As I can't fix my keyboard, and it's due to next a couple of days, I decided to buy everything I need in the store, solder iron, rack, wires, and another keyboard to reconnect. That's also distract me from designing program.

Still can't get into the lab

I don't know how to test my buttons and switches unless i can sort out my keyboard. I'll see if I can hire a solder iron or borrow one. Its gonna spend 20 bucks,and they located at somewhere around manukau. I don't know if I'll go tomorrow.

Briliant!

I got my beat counter in the help patch, I guess I can modify it, as my main program.

Waitin for solder gun

Hoping to get back in the solder lab to fix my keyboard. Cause I just can't do anything without test on my keyboard. I'll working on the program during these days I can't do practical thing.

Loads of keyboard


One of them is not working anyway, two of them I just broke the link point between the board and usb, and i found out some ps2 one can't recognized by Mac, but work fine with windows. At least I know how to prevent broke control board. lol

First idea

The prototype of my design is CD decks which gives us the functions include fade track in and out by a slider, bpm(beat per minute) counter, as well as VJ stuff such as, adding video, the speed of the videos are depending on the tempo of the track. Moreover buttons or switches introduce effects in like fog or laser onto the video.
Summary
The wearable garment let you be able to dj while you are in the clothes which build in keyboard control board(wireless can be done the same way), once you plug usb in or connect the keyboard by the same wireless network to the computer, you can manipulate the music by the slider and know the bpm by taping the button alone the beat.
