How does it work ?
Sensors are connected to a computer, using one of the following thumb-sized interfaces:
WiDig: 8 analog (10-bit) / digital (I2C) inputs at > 5 KS/s and 8 digital (binary or I2C) outputs (for actuators), via USB, BLE or WiFi.
USB-microDig: 8 analog (10-bit) / digital (I2C) inputs at > 5 KS/s and 8 digital (binary or I2C) outputs (for actuators), via USB.
Wi-microDig: 8 analog (10-bit) / digital (I2C) inputs at > 1 KS/s via "Classic" Bluetooth wireless with 100 meter range.
With I-CubeX software you can now configure the sensor interface to process the sensor signals and events, and map them to a variety of MIDI messages as control information for your musical and/or visual effects equipment. There is a wealth of software and devices that you can use in conjunction with I-CubeX to map the data to audiovisual effects.
