pdp/ffmpeg
by dafydd hughes 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi Folks My fist crack at pdp - so far so good with some Quicktime playback, but I find that I can't play most Quicktime files - I get an error telling me that the codec isn't supported. JPEG codec works fime (anim-1.mov from the Gem docs) but I haven't found another QT file that works. Is there a good place to look for such files? Right now I just want to try and get this thing running... Part two: from the pdp_capture help patch, pdp_ffmpeg~ won't create. Is there anything I need to do outside pd here? I've got the Debian packages for pdp and have tried ffmpeg both from the packages and from CVS. I expect I'm missing something basic here, but I've looked and looked and found nothing. If there's a good site or resource I can check out, please just point me there. cheers dafydd

path for gem help file (simple-basic question)
by ciccolix 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi all, after much time I have decided to upgrade (in some linux computers) PD to version 0.38-4. At the same time I have decided to begin to know GEM, I have compiled Gem and Gem-lib from CVS (on slackware 10,1) without problems, thanks to GEM maintainer ! I have decided to leave all in the sources folders in these positions: /home/sources/puredata/pd-0.38-4 /home/sources/puredata/Gem Copying the content of the "help" folder of Gem in the "5.reference" folder of PD the right-mouse-button on the gem object work fine. The question: how I can hold in different position the help-files of gem from those of pd? Apologize for the simple-basic question bye -- Lazzaro

PDA suggestions
by Alexandre Matheson 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hello, I'm planning to purchace a PDA but have a couple of questions. I will be using PDa on it(http://gige.xdv.org/pages/pd/) so it must have a linux based os. I was thinking of geting something from the sharp Zaurus line running OpenZaurus. the SL-C3000 would be sweet but the os has not been completely translated to english and is a bit pricey. http://www.bargainpda.com/ default.asp?newsID=237 the SL C1000 seems to be my best bet I was wondering if midi was available on these devices. Also I would like PDa to be able to communicate with a basic stamp. Any suggestions would be very helpfull. alex

loadbang in dynamic abstractions
by Thomas Ouellet Fredericks 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

When you create an abstraction dynamically, it does not get a loadbang. Is there an object that sends a similar "loadbang" when the abstraction is created dynamically? I know I can send the abstraction a "loadbang" message, but I would like it to be automatic. Other question : does closebang work? If so, how? Tom

Re: "py" and os.path

Hi Ben, > > I'm having fun with py and have a couple questions. > > #1 Does the precompiled py external include the python interpreter? > As in does it not depend on python being installed on the system? > If so what modules does it include? > The Python interpreter is not included - Python (2.1 upwards) must be installed, which is the case in OSX and most if not all Linux distributions. It's not standard on Windows, but there's a convenient installer. > #2 I can "import os" to get OS methods like os.dirlist. but when I try > and "import os.path" py refuses to load the script. I need > os.path.join that works on all OSs. > That's strange... i have no problem under OSX 10.3 with standard Python installation (py cvs) Could you try to load the following script with py: ------------ try: import sys except: print "Not even sys is working" try: import os.path except: print "Import failed:",str(sys.exc_info()[1]) ------------- many thanks, Thomas

controlling robots/printers w/ PD
by Robert Garvin 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

I was wondering if there was already an external to control a printer or a robot with PD. If not, does anyone know how I would go about writing one? I understand that if you were to write a binary, you'd probably have to understand C (or C+ or C++. whatever it's called). Obviously, I don't understand any of it. If anyone can help me, let me know. Thanks, Robert P.s. (if there is an external for the robot stuff, is there a specific kit that would be best for PD?)

http://www.cycling74.com/products/teleo.html That website has a beginning kit that is already set up to run w/ Max/MSP. is there a way to grab the info from the patch and use it in PD? this would probably be the best bet to start things out on. -----Original Message----- From: Mathieu Bouchard [mailto:matju@sympatico.ca] Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 11:28 PM To: B.

The use of the name "BASIC" is more marketing than anything else. It's there to attract a generation of artists who are learning how to code and solder in a fit of DYI-ness and are the right age to have tried BASIC as a kid in a way that makes them nostalgic about it. Is there even a Linux interface for uploading to the BASICstamp ? I think I recall it's Windows-only. _____________________________________________________________________ Mathieu Bouchard -=- MontrÃ©al QC Canada -=- http://artengine.ca/matju
