Cycling 74 Max: Kyle Evans' Cigar Box Controller Controls Air Traffic Control

May 12, 2008
Cigar Box Controller

When I'm on a plane, I'm too busy getting motherfunking snakes off of it to worry about sampling air traffic control broadcasts. That's why it's a good thing that someone like Kyle Evans does sample things at a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet.

Even if I could fight a snake while I was sampling, I wouldn't be as adept at using that sample for an even more encompassing project. Kyle built a controller out of a Playstation 2 controller, a cigar box and some low-cost electronics to control the air traffic broadcast with Cycling 74 Max.
