Aplicaciones musicales con Arduino

Cristian Manuel Bañuelos Hinojosa and Mauro Herrera Machuca

En este curso nos adentraremos en el terreno del hardware. Concretamente, aprenderemos a utilizar la placa de desarrollo de hardware de código abierto, llamada Arduino, enfocándonos en las aplicaciones que esta ofrece para la experimentación musical. De manera más específica, aprenderemos en este curso a construir nuestros propios generadores de sonido, y a partir de ello haremos instalaciones sonoras que nos permitirán expandir nuestra creatividad hacia el terreno de las cosas materiales, y ya no solo de los datos informáticos.
