Aural Aura – Wireless Communication
Wireless Communication with the BUG
Wireless communication with BUGbees
The BUG serves as the central hub for processing data at the hardware level using sensor data and bugbee readings. Three bugbees are attached to the bodysuit for location identification purposes using the method of triangulation. My programming partner Dr. Constantinos Hadjiloizis and I have successfully tested wireless communication between the BUGbees and the BUG motion sensor using the dragonfly interface. To test the BUGbees I physically attached them to my body, two on each arm, and one below the stomach. We will use the dragonfly interface to open a port of communication between MAX/MSP and the bug. The BUGbee readings are analyzed and compared with sensor data readings transmitted via the xbees and packaged in MAX/MSP, to ensure a more accurate datastream in order to determine movement and location. We are also conducting testing using the Von Hippel interface, which allows us to use the Arduino open-source platform, as an alternative to wireless communication, for comparison and testing purposes.
