independence of array windows
by João Miguel Pais 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hi, I just noticed something. If anyone wants to open an array window (usually named graphX), it is possible to send the command [vis 1( to that window, as with any other pd window. But in case an abstraction is used, all ocurrences of that abstraction have the same name. So, if I have 10 times the same abstraction with a graph which I want to open directly, I can only open all at the same time. Would it be possible/desirable to make an individual naming scheme, so that each window would have it's autonomy? For example, one sollution would be that the name of the window would be dependent of the array name. If one array is called $0-graph, then [vis 1(--[send pd-$0-graph_W] or something sim. would open the array window. (I guess that having the same name as the array itself might cause conflicts - or not?) JoÃ£o Miguel Pais -- Lugostr. 14 79100 Freiburg i. Br.

string with comma to comport
by olsen 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

hi list i like to control one of those parallax servo controllers. therefore i thought to send the data via the comport object to the controller. the controller syntax is: "!SC", Channel, Ramp, pw.LOWBYTE, pw.HIGHBYTE, $0D. as "!SC" is the header, $0D the terminator and the other integers, the desired 'message' should look like this ["!SC",1,2,250,750,CR] but how could i get pd to send this string to the comport? ev'rything i tried separates messages on the comma... any idea around? thanks in advance olsen ---- "Houston, we've had a problem here."

(I never tried it) But then, maybe a custom external would be best suited for what you want to achieve. You should also look the frankestein externals in CVS. Davide Morelli could tell you more than I about artificial neural networks. Better to stay on the pd-list for the benefits of all. Cheers ! aalex

Trying to get comport to work in windows
by Martin Dupras 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hi, I'm trying to use a Spark Fun WiTilt (essentially a 3D accelerometer attached to a bluetooth radio, see http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=254) with PD 0.39.2extended-test4 on win XP. I know the device is connected and sending because I can see the correct output if I connect to the device with hyperterminal. My device is on com port 12. If I try [comport 12 9600] I get the error: "[comport] invalid handle for COM". Is there any reason why comport should not see the port, when hyperterminal can? Cheers, - martin

Wacom tablet on OS X to HID, but not to cursor
by Jamie Bullock 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hi, Does anyone know a way, on OS X (10.4), of capturing graphics tablet output with [hid] in PD, but not having it control the cursor? BTW, It is a Wacom Volito, and the Wacom drivers don't detect it, so I am using the OS X 'builtin' driver. TIA, Jamie

deconstructors in pd externals
by Peter Worth 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

hi, i'm writing an external that requires a lot of memory freeing when it is destroyed, but i cant find much in the way of documentation telling me how to set up a deconstructor. at the moment i'm doing this: extern "C" __declspec( dllexport ) void markovchain_tilde_setup(void) { markovchain_tilde_class = class_new(gensym("markovchain~"), (t_newmethod)markovchain_tilde_new, (t_method)markovchain_tilde_destroy, sizeof(t_markovchain_tilde), CLASS_DEFAULT, A_GIMME, 0); class_addmethod(markovchain_tilde_class, (t_method)markovchain_tilde_dsp, gensym("dsp"), 0); } with a deconstructor like this: void *markovchain_tilde_destroy() { .... but obviously this is no good because i need access to the dataspace struct. so how do i pass a reference to the struct to the deconstructor? thanks, pete.

[PD-announce] VJ Theory Book - Call for Papers
by VJ Theory 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

You might have already heard of, or even already be a contributor to, the VJ Theory project. If you haven't then the project falls into two areas: samples of work from the forthcoming book and the project/community which lives at: vjtheory.net This project intends to develop a community actively discussing and reflecting on philosophy and theory related with Vjing and realtime interaction. It is apparent, during workshops and discussions at Festivals and symposia, that practitioners of both VJing and Interactive Installations will quickly move on from problems with the practicalities of production to more complex ideas of how and why the process has, for example, significance for the viewer. There is a lack of written texts on the philosophies and theories related with VJing and realtime interaction. This project and the associated book, aim to bring together work by some of the foremost practitioners and academics in the field. We aim to produce a body of work which, for the first time, will address these theoretical issues and place the practices of VJing and Interactive Installation, into a useful context. Although we have received an excellent response in contributions for the book, there are also areas that, we as editors, feel need to be developed more. Â Areas we still need material: Â Politics (activism, guerrilla, community focused realtime interaction and performance) Intellectual property DIY culture Realtime interaction and performance as developing tools (pd/GEM/Arduino or MAX/MSP/Jitter as used in performance programming for example) Body Â If you know of any text which address these areas in relation to realtime interaction (either published or not) then please let us know. We also welcome other contributions you might have to the content of the web site Â We are accepting full texts, between 3000 and 5000 words. Deadline for submissions:31st August == Editors: Ana Carvalho and Brendan Byrne Co-editors: Lara Houston and Paul Mumford == ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!

Separator Gem stuff/probs
by timon botez 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hi, Im doing a simple image texture map onto rectangle via the separator object. Using PD-0.39.2-extended-test4. When I load the image into pix_image the terminal keeps pumping out this message: separator : state>numTexCoords 4 != m_state.numTexCoords 0 The image is visible,, things working fine, but eventually crash. What is causing this? Thanks, Timon.

drawsymbol + crash bug
by João Miguel Pais 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hi, what's the current development state of drawsymbol? It is possible to create a symbol within a struct, but I was looking for how to change/set it. Is a [set struct symb] not yet implemented? By the way, when trying to close the help patch of [set] pd crashes constantly - doesn't matter which other patches might be open. But this doesn't happen with other d-s objects. (my system specs are below) joao -- Lugostr. 14 79100 Freiburg i. Br.
