The first tests began with reading information from an MMA8452Q accelerometer with an Arduino. An LED was used to confirm that data was being received and could be manipulated. The accelerometer's information was then transmitted over serial port to Pure Data, where a patch with a single oscillator object was placed.

At first, on the Arduino code, the data from the accelerometer was being mapped to MIDI notes. These numbers where then received in Pure Data. For whatever reason, the numbers were not corresponding, a 60 sent was received as a 0.3 or other related numbers. Adding an mtof object on the patch helped produce sounds, however, low frequency and random noises, but still sound.
