| − | Here's how to connect the USB-microDig or Wi-microDig and get sensor data into your computer using Link. It also describes how Link can be used to process the signal coming from the sensor, and send out messages via MIDI or OSC (Open Sound Control). | + | Here's how to get started with Link. Connect a USB-microDig, WiDig or Wi-microDig and get sensor data into your computer, ready for use by other software. |
