For this prototype, two Arduinos were used.
An Arduino Uno was used to map the distance values and trigger the audio files within Touch Designer.
A nano33 IoT was used to convert audio and run the DAC through I2S passthrough.
The audio from the computer was sent into a UDA1344(I2S DAC) with the help of a 3.5mm jack.
Processed using a passthrough code whichh allowed audio to be sent to the MAX98306 Stereo Amp, which drove the speakers.
