RE: [PD] gem blocks tablet

You can turn it off with an environment variable. From the release notes: If you don't want GEM to take control of the tablet if it finds one, set the environment variable GEM_NO_TABLET to the value "1" (no quotes of course). There will be a print out if GEM finds the environment variable.

Hmmm...I haven't tried my tablet recently (and I am under Win2000, so who knows) I have also only tried the tablet object with one type, an old wacom (3-4 years old). We have a bunch of tablets here at work. Maybe I will try one of them and let you know.

gem blocks tablet
by Olaf Matthes 03 May '01

03 May '01

Hi Mark, hi list, I just ran into difficulties using gem (0.84) and my drawing tablet (acecad DigiPadII cordless) on WinNT 4.0 (with pd 0.32-1). When I start pd the tablet sort of blocks: it is no longer possible to move the mouse-arrow on the screen. When I close pd (using the mouse or keyboard) everythings works well again. Gem reports: GEM: connected to tablet. Running pd without gem does not cause this problem... Any ideas, hints, bug warnings... ? Or do I just need to download latest versions? Thanks, Olaf

I finally got around to releasing gem0.85 for win32. Minor release but fixes some potential memory crasher bugs.

[gem] linux and aphrodite
by Johannes M Zmoelnig 02 May '01

02 May '01

hi all ! just because i noticed : has the model-loader stopped to work under linux (gem-0.84_5) ? i had numerous crashes when i tried to load in a model (not just "a" model file but the helping venus) but finally i succeeded to survive the loadup-routine (by using the old files from gem-0.81). still i really do not see much : it is all black (i know how to turn the lights on) mfgfd.s.wef IOhannes

F8 of midisolutions
by r.climent 02 May '01

02 May '01

Dear PD-list,I am willing to purchase an F8 unit by midisolutions to interact with PD and others to convert microvoltage signals into midi by 8 infrarred sensors made by the Spanish company cebek. The F8 is an American 8-footswitch devide for midi. Do any of you have it / heard of it? I just need to get an on/off signal trough midi via ctlin. Many thanks in advance. Cheers, Ricardo

Michael, by all means publish your tutorial. I represent perhaps one other Pd constituency: that of users who'd like to get into Max/MSP but who try Pd rather than invest in a Mac. Personally, I'd rather spend my time using Pd as a musical tool and only occasionally messing with the code. But really, how will Pd reach a larger audience if more attention isn't given to making it initially accessible? A starter tutorial would go a long way. Also, I would vote to still keep user questions going through this list. -Ben Sommer

One other question: What does the message, "Consistency check failed: glob_initfromgui", at startup mean? evan.
