arduino - comport : baud 0 not valid
by tim 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi, I wanted to do some testing on win XP with the firmata firmware and the pduino patch The arduino worked fine several times before. Not sure it has something to do with it but the arduino now appears on COM10 instead of a lower port number, like it did before. Arduino programmer connects to it without problem so I can upload the firmware. But before, when the portnumber was lower, I could connect to it from pd too. pd/pduino now for example also connects to COM4, without any error message, although that's not where the arduino is. I cannot choose which com port arduino appears on. I try to open COM10, because that's where arduino programmer connects to arduino, as I can select in the Tools menu. in pd I get: comport open 10, baud 0 not valid (args: [portnum] [baud]) sending |baud 9600( to comport doesn't help restarting computer doesn't help connecting to different usb port doesn't change anything. it's comport.dll from http://idmi.poly.edu/pdlab/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5.exe also tried removing/changing some registry keys (renamed COM10 to COM5, removed COM4) in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>SERIALCOMM after disconnecting and reconnecting the arduino, \Device\VCP0 REG_SZ COM10 appears again in regedit how can I change COM10 to some lower port number? (because I remeber when it worked it had lower port numbers, or is that superstition ?...) thanks Tim

Properties not available in OS X
by Myo 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hello list, I'm having a problem with the properties option not being accessible in the context menu for some externals I've installed. I reinstalled them, and it worked just for that Pd session, but now it's back to not working again. ??? I'm running Pd-0.38.4-extended on OS 10.3.9 if that helps. Is there some paths I need to edit, or something else I'm missing here? Thanks alot

Symbol/character set
by timon 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi, Im using GEM for some typographic visualisations and need an extended set of characters, at least the first 256 of the roman standard. It appears that the symbol object supports a bunch (like 8 bit). Im loading the content from an external text file and I need to use [l2s] together with [ascseq] to split the text into individual symbols. Obviously there's a catch with using [ascseq] as its a limited character set set. But it appears that [list] or [textfile] also has the same limitation (like 7 bit). Is this intended and is there a workaround? Im using HC's PD-039.2 extended test 4 Thanks, Timon

polyphonic ? key, keyup setup question
by Marten Rieger 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

sorry if im doubleposting but i got an email by pd-list(a)iem.at telling me that it is now possible for me to write to the list; so if it didnt work now it works hi everyone, i'm new to this list and pure data itself so please allow me to ask some kinda n00by question. i want to build a computerkeyboard setup in which i can press many keys at once to play chords and stuff and until now i found no solution to this. as i want those notes to stop in the moment of the keyup event i made a fix around which sadly stops all notes at the moment i release any key. could anyone post me something or names of objects i should look at for the moment => thanks here s my crappy code: #N canvas 0 0 1087 712 12;

Motion Detection Strategies - Gem
by David Powers 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

Hi everyone, I bought a cheap Logitech webcam to try motion detection with PD+Gem. I'm considering, among others things, using this as part of a digital instrument design. First of all, the cheap webcam is of course rather noisy. But, the motion detection doing: [pix_movement 0.3] l [alpha] l [pix_blob] definitely does seem to work okay. I did a test using the X and Y to control FM synthesis however, and it mostly worked but tended to produce a lot of noise when something was moving. What is the recommended way to smooth out the signal a bit? Also, best way to find the average speed of motion? Finally, are there more advanced motion detection strategies? Like, say, could I somehow put a bright red dot on my index finger, and just detect where my index finger is? I'd love to hear what people have done. I also wonder, how the hell I would set it up for a real performance - Experimental music concerts here tend to be in small alternative sorts of venues, with not much space. ~David

Hello David, You could track a red led (or bright dot) in GridFlow by using [lti.SplitImageToRGB] and sending the red channel to [#motion_detect]. It outputs x and y values. I have some images of drawings made after this here : http://artengine.ca/acastonguay/projets/plotter/. You'll also find some images of early motion detection studies by the Galbraiths that puts this in perspective.
