Re: [PD] PIR sensors
by Ben Carney 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

hello there jaime, I have just recently bought 15 I.R. sensors for an installaition I am working on. I found two for around the $5-$6 range http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7330 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10082 i went with the first link because it is a rabbit, of course. shouyld get them in a week or two. i know a bit about hackingt them(not too hard to do it seems) let me know how this project comes along as we might end up being a valuable resource to one another. -- Ben C.

shell scripts to tell which externals are used by patches
by Claude Heiland-Allen 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi all, I wrote some shell scripts to find out which externals my patches need. Download: svn co https://devel.goto10.org/svn/maximus/pdpatchinfo Example usage: $ ./internals.sh ~/src/pd-0.41-4 >pd-0.41-4.txt $ ./objs.sh <~/maximus/2008/gg/spiral.pd | ./externals.sh pd-0.41-4.txt colorRGB expr gem2graphgrow gemhead gemwin graphgrow pix_snap2tex rotateXYZ scale scaleXYZ separator square translateXYZ $ Future usage: $ ./objs.sh <~/maximus/2008/gg/spiral.pd | ./externals pd-0.41-4.txt | ./externals pd-0.41-4-bundled.txt | ./externals Gem.txt gem2graphgrow graphgrow $ Notes: (1) ./internal.sh depends on the source code format (which is a bit fragile/hacky). (2) To get a list of objects defined by a library would require patching Pd to add printing to class_new() and class_addcreator(). (3) Haven't yet written the list of the externals "bundled with Pd". This message brought to you by the characters "#X" and the number 247. Claude -- http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org

motion detector (PIR...?)
by Jaime Oliver 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you had any experience hacking motion detectors, the kind that is used in stores to make a sound when you enter or in lights that turn on when you pass by... the key of course is that it should have a digital (on/off spirit). So far i have understood that they are called 'PIR motion switch'. I am looking to not do so much work (building and testing a sensor), but to get one i can hack & hook to a board and get 1's and 0's so any comment is great and I'll probably need 10-12 so the cheapest the better (they seem to be in a lot of lights so they should be cheap!!) I am looking for something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Sensor-Plug/dp/B000BSLTNI/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&… i suppose these should work too: http://cgi.ebay.com/MOTION-DETECTOR-SENSOR-ALARM-CHIME-CUSTOMER-ALERT-NEW_W… http://www.thewholesalediscountstore.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/SFV/32461/… hope you are all doing well, best, Jaime -- Jaime E Oliver LR joliverl(a)ucsd.edu www.realidadvisual.org/jaimeoliver www-crca.ucsd.edu/ www.realidadvisual.org 9168 Regents Rd.

Re: [PD] PD and new ASUS and Everex mini laptops: experiences?
by alberto.zin＠poste.it 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi, nice to hear that PD runs on Eeepc! Did you use apt-get to install it? Testing sources: a good starting points could be the examples in the Help->Browser->3.audio.examples (in particular the H, I, J series of examples) listening for audio dropouts/glitches... Looks interesting! Thanks, AlbertoZ Hi Alberto, I own an Eee PC with puredata installed. The graphical chip is not bad. However, I am quite new to puredata, just tested with few examples with very simple effect. If you can suggest testing source , I could help to test and report the result.

makefilename crash
by Derek Holzer 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Just discovered this last night. Should I file a bug report? When a float or numeric message (is this the same type as float automatically?) is sent directly to [makefilename %s_PD.aif], PD freezes, and then segfaults/crashes on the next input of any kind. I know this is not how this object should be used, but still PD should be robust enough to handle this kind of type error without totally dying. Simply sending a text-message to the same object without using a [symbol] object to set the type results in a far more benign: error: makefilename: no method for 'dave' best, d. -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 21: "Be less critical"

midi on 0.40.3-extended
by padovani 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Is anyone experiencing problems to play midi through QuickTimeMIDI on PD on Leopard (intel)? I've tried three different versions of the 0.40.3-extended for Mac i386 (after having tried the 0.39 version that crashed) and couldn't reach any Midi output device... other Apps play midi through quicktime with no problem...

pd eating cpu on os x
by marius schebella 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi, I forgot why exactly Pd was eating 32% of my cpu without doing anything (right after starting, only the pd window). was this because of some quicktime or itunes stuff? how can I turn that off. marius.

import vs namespace
by Derek Holzer 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi all, it seems that the ways of dealing with externals and paths is always in flux! I would like to confirm a suspicion that, for the time being, the following works the way I think it does, assuming PD 0.39: [library/object] imports that specific object into global namespace, and can accommodate different objects with the same name from different libs. This method does not allow access to help patches or abstractions in the library path. [import library] imports the whole library into global namespace, including help patches and other abs (usually, although I have often found this broken in Extended). It cannot accommodate different objects with the same name from different libs, as the last library imported will have priority. Is this correct so far? Has anyone documented this any more substantially anywhere? How does this change for 0.40? best! d. -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 33: "Cluster analysis"

pdj in 0.40
by marius schebella 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

hi, I am using pdj for a project, it seems to work fine (I have not stress tested it yet, but will). and I am also curious about the scheduler patch that seems to close a security thing (prevents pd from hanging?). but my question is why it is not working with pd 0.40, only 0.41? it explicitly says, it requires 0.41, I just would like to go with pd-extended. marius.

sms external
by marius schebella 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

hi, some time ago someone (rich e) posted that he wanted to work on an sms (Spectral Modeling Synthesis) external for pd (http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2008-01/010709.html), just curious if you're still working on it or if you come up with another solution? thanks, marius.
