The controller

Some features of the program can be controlled via an external controller that is plugged into the GeekPort on a BeBox-computer (at the moment it is not certain how such controllers could be made to work on Mac-clones). The controller contains four sliders that control the line-width/spray-radius and Red, Green and Blue elements of current colour. These kinds of controllers are not available from shops but one can easily be made from standard electrical components. Note that the only way to calibrate the software for the controller is to make changes in the soure code (this will be changed soon). Also due to the nature of GeekPort the different sliders affect a little bit to other sliders (this also could be dealt in sofware but it is not yet implemented). If the calibration is off there can be some strange effects when the values "go over".


Here is a diagram for those who would like to make such controller.
