Let's use accelerometer to control sounds in Pure Data or Max/MSP!!
---
To Buy
-Arduino Nano
amazon.com/ELEGOO-Arduino-ATmega328P-Without-Compatible/dp/B0713XK923
I think this one should be fine? If I remember correctly, you have to install a CH430 firmware in order to get it working with Pure Data/Max. And Windows user had issue with this thing. But maybe it all got fixed in the past 3 years?? Just a heads up before you click "buy"!!
For much less headache, it might be a better idea to buy the official Nano. It may possibly save you time in the long run. There's a reason why I avoided Nano on this channel!! Or I could be overthinking, but I do care about your time.
-USB Cable (Arduino Nano uses Mini USB cable. Please double check when you select your Nano)

This one should be fine
-Breadboard (82 mm long so that it can be mounted nicely onto the sphere!)

-Wires
amazon.com/AUSTOR-Lengths-Assorted-Preformed-Breadboard/dp/B07CJYSL2T
-Accelerometer
amazon.com/HiLetgo-MPU-6050-Accelerometer-Gyroscope-Converter/dp/B01DK83ZYQ
If you would like to use accelerometer for MIDI, I recommend purchasing ones that are not using SCL and SDA.

Something like this should work with my Arduino MIDI tutorial.

Adafruit has one too but it's expensive... I may need to do a pt.2 of the Arduino MIDI tutorial where where we can use sensors that use digital pins or SCL + SDA...
