Data Sonification Example
Using the https://wheretheiss.at/ api, we do regular webrequests and send the ISSs latitude, longtitude, and altitude over the local network (localhost or 127.0.0.1) using the Open Sound Control protocol.
This is the then recieved into PureData/PlugData and effects various paramaters of a sawtooth oscillator such as the phase, filter cutoff, frequency, and pulsewidth modulation.
Requirements
- PlugData
- There’s a couple objects which require the ELSE library for PureData(pd), which you could install on Vanilla pd, but it’s way easier just to install PlugData.
- Python==3.12.0
- If you haven’t got Python installed on your computer already, I’d recommend install python through anaconda for working with python so you can use the conda package manager.
Setup
Navigate to the folder you downloaded
cd "your relative path"/python-osc-handler/
There’s two ways to setup your python environment you can either install the requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
or you can import the conda environment from the environment.yml
conda env create --name envname --file=environments.yml
Change ‘envname’ to a name which suits you.
Then activate the environment.
conda activate envname
To run the script in your terminal run the following command
python .\src\main.py
To cancel the executing script hit ctrl+c.
