Pd patches Matt wrote in class are in his directory on the CCRMA filesystem:

~matt/MID/pd-bonus

AVR code to receive serial "commands" from PC by Wendy can be found at:
/usr/ccrma/web/html/workshops/mid2005/avrlib-demos-NEW/pc2avr
receives characters from serial terminal (kermit, for instance) and displays lower four bits on the PORT B/PB-LED LEDs.

/usr/ccrma/web/html/workshops/mid2005/avrlib-demos-NEW/servo2
receives characters from serial terminal, outputs value of hex byte to LCD and outputs proportional servo control signal from PINB0.

The pd comport object can read and write raw bytes to the serial port: http://iem.kug.ac.at/~ritsch/programmier/pd_externals/
