Musical Instruments
I am fairly new to physical computing...I'm not sure if I am way out of the ball park with this question, but I was wondering if their was any way one could control a musical instrument (piano) through there movement. Not movement of the fingers, but through movement of parts of the body at a distance, through use of a sensor and a basic stamp board?

Nuts and Volts magazine published an article I wrote about this project.
The "thereping" uses the Parallax PING sensor to determine your distance from the instrument, and then picks a note to play based on that distance. Hope this helps!

ur2muchr -- visit www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/nvcolumns/Nuts_Volts_Downloads_V4.asp and Nuts n Volts #94 and #95 have articles and sample code discussing reading sensors with a Stamp, converting to MIDI, etc. This might a be good place to start for ideas.
