Mapping Compass to Sound

I started studying how to send compass data from my phone to the computer.

I sketched a small system diagram with four layers:

Phone → OSC → Max → Sound Engine.

I realised the compass isn’t a button, it’s a continuous angle sensor that can drive modulation.

So I asked myself:

What happens if direction controls filter cutoff?

What if 180° becomes the fastest LFO point like turntable scratching?

Today I also looked into inet settings, WiFi networks, and port issues.

I planned to start building the actual patch in a few days.
