ANALOG FIRMATA

I needed to upload the basic analog firmata code to the pro mini so that when I connect it via bluetooth to my computer, pure data will be able to communicate with it. 

RESOLVING WIRES

A large obstacle I am to face is the problem of cables. For my first prototype i will aim to connect the shoe directly to the computer through the arduino's usb outlet. 

I will need to look for another option to connect the other shoe to the computer. 

I could look for a smaller arduino (perhaps a pro mini) that could fit inside the shoe and connect it via bluetooth to my computer.  

FIRST EXPERIMENT

I set up an interface where I could load a sound into pure data and play it. 

The problem with this particular code was that the sound keeps replaying once it is loaded. To be able to connect my arduino to this piece of code i will need the sound of the drum kit to play once with a bang so that i can trigger it with hardware. 

PDUINO

I will use this arduino sketch in Pure data to connect my arduino and make use of its analog inputs.

EXPERIMENTING

I have chosen to go with the idea I have outlined in proposal 2 which i labeled the "Kitkicks". I plan to make this idea interactive through using a program called Pure Data. Here I will be able to set up a connection through my Arduino board with the program and by interacting with physical hardware I will be able to play sounds off my computer through Pure data.
