Tinny Scoots

I used all the original
buttons and
brakes on the scooter as switches for the Max patch. The right
brake
did not work so I replaced it with a flex sensor. I also
attached an
accelerometer on the edge of the right handle to get information from
turning the accelerator (x,y) and also the turning the front wheel left
and
right (z).

I used an Arduino to connect
the buttons and
switches to the computer.
I also used 4 car speakers for the audio on the scooter. Two
placed in the front in place of the headlights, one in place of the
speedometer and one on the luggage rack on the back of the
scooter. I built four 1 watt amps to power the speakers and
connected them to the computer with a Motu
UltraLite.

stage with many modifications needed for the installation to be fully
realized.
