    Hardware Suppliers: Microcontrollers, Interfaces and sensor/actuator kits.

    In recent years, the market for such devices has opened up very much to an amateur audience, with very user-friendly kits to make physical devices that include digital control. And VVVV is an ideal software toolkit to couble them with high-performance PC applications. Here are a few links.

    • A directory of sources for input technologies

    Kits

    • Phidgets a modular microcontroller-sensor-actuator system, competitive pricing, large range of modules (even a nifty mini joystick), but closed source.
    • Convenient starter kits for the Prototyping Interfaces book.
    • Sparkfun Inventor's Kit.
    • Arduino possibly the cheapest microcontroller with a usb port on the market. Open Source, with a friendly community. Read more about vvvv and Arduino.
    • C-Control by Conrad, rather old project, but keeps developing.
    • MakingThings develop the Teleo Board and the new, rather powerful MAKE controller.
    • Parallax maker of the basic stamp, one of the first microcontroller kits geared at beginners.
    • Interface Z is selling midi I/O cards, sensors, and giving on its site a full documentation on how do yourself a lot of things ( sensor carpet, etc...)

    Interfaces

    • Cinetix is a small company from Frankfurt, Germany. They make USB Interfaces and are very helpful with custom projects. VVVV supported: IO (Devices Cinetix Sensorbox)
    • Wiesemann & Theis Ethernet-based IO interfaces, industrial-grade systems, priced accordingly. VVVV supported: IO (Devices Wiesemann+Theis Digital-EA)
    • Code Mercenaries Makers of cheap, versatile interfaces JoyWarrior, KeyWarrior and IOWarrior. VVVV supported: GameController (Devices JoyWarrior), IO (Devices IOWarrior40)
