Bela is a small computer that we can program to run our Pure Data patches. It also allows us to interact with many different types of sensors that can measure our movements.

The sensors we are using today are Force Sensitive Resistors. We can measure the amount of force we put on the sensor. We have eight of them on the sheet of paper in front of us.

Open up a browser window (best with Chrome) and visit 192.168.7.2. This will bring up the main interface we will use to program the Bela board.

To run our Pd patch we need to save our project and make sure it is called _main.pd. Navigate to this file on your computer and drag and drop the file on the browser. This will update the code that is going to run on the board.

To start the project running press the run button.
