comport questions
by Pagano, Patrick 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi With the recent talk about comport I have tried to use it to control a BenQ MX660P Projector and I am having no response from the machine. RS-232 protocol Baud Rate 115200 bps (default) Changeable(2400/4800/9600/14400/19200/38400/57600/115200) Setting in OSD menu Data Length 8 bit Parity Check None Stop Bit 1 bit The command to turn it on is: <CR>*pow=on#<CR> But I am getting no response from the machine. I am using the ascii list of bites to send the message, maybe this is incorrect? Perhaps someone may shed some light upon this for me? I am on Windows7, pd 42-5 extended Patrick Pagano, B.S, M.F.A Assistant in Digital Arts and Science Digital Media Projection and Audio Design Digital Worlds Institute University of Florida, USA (352)294-2020

Re: [PD] Browse/Search plugin update
by Dan Wilcox 01 Dec '12

This is great. Just what we need for students getting into pd etc. Great work. Some feedback: - Can you make the breadcrumb nav links stand out a bit more? I didn't see them at first and was looking for a back button. Now we just need the libdir meta info for all externals!

Technical Agenda invitation: "Geeks Peek" warmup for Dec 7 Pd+RPi Box Lunch at SDSC
by Joe Deken 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

This is an open invitation for people in the Pd community who have interest in the potential of Pd+Raspberry_Pi . (Others can pass by now in serenity hopefully.) On December 7 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center there will be a Pd+RaspberryPi Box Lunch event. This is the second in what will likely be a national (international) series introducing all sorts and ages of people, and their friends and families, to Pd (and to computing sung large) via the Raspberry Pi. It seems impossible to talk about Pd except to talk about the Pd community and involve that community as well. On Thu December 6, as a warmup to the Box Lunch next day, we will be having a "Geeks Peek" event targeted to those who will be developing hardware and software for the Pd_RPi environment. I believe that the attendees will include Miller, Gi Vania, SDSC illuminati and so on. So what? 1) You are cordially invited to submit "technical items and issues" for Pd_RPi that you yourself are working on and/or which you feel deserve the attention of those geek-likes who have the talent to make progress in these sorts of technical areas. (I would not restrict your imagination, but I'll just say that cheap homemade mics, samizdat video, or GPIO free-for-all are things that would not be "off topic.") If you think in terms of what would make PdRPi into a universal crayons-set, rather than as your beloved art museum or BMW, you're on the right track. If you believe as I do that it isn't possible to understand Pd without understanding the Pd community, you're on the wavelength. Send your items to me directly if you like and/or send ideas to pd-list if no one seems to be complaining. In any case, there will be a web page built up before Dec 6 where this "do it yourself geeks agenda" is collected and presented. 2) I cannot guarantee, but we have tested ustream from random venues, and I would hope there would at least be a bit of "discussion corner" created on December 6 and 7 where folks from Pd-land could drop in virtually, catch a bit of conversation and/or leave a comment etc. via ustream. No guarantees on ustream connectivity quite yet, though, for either Thu or Fri events.

Re: [PD] Live phase modulation (Charles Henry)
by Alexandre Torres Porres 28 Nov '12

Go for the ssb example (H09) it uses the hilbert transform to do a complex modulation. It's a frequency shifter (not a pitch shifter) but it works for this kind of modulation. You may also use some other pitch shifter as well for that. Cheers

mp3 (layerII) or .wav/.aif stereo player!
by Òscar Martínez Carmona 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi List! I'm trying to play an mp3 layerII file with [mp3play~] ans it does only support layer III files. While I'm looking for the appropiate converter (fail at that by now) I was wondering if there was another external able to play layer II files (the most common type, not?). Anyways I'll be happy too if I can play an not compressed audio file like an .aiff or .wav but in stereo? how the f*ck I do that? Thanx! -- Òscar Martínez Carmona

Re: [PD] turn off object bar in pd-extended 0.43
by Dan Wilcox 27 Nov '12

Yeah, well duh I could do that. Maybe I'm asking more for a little checkbox so I still have the option of re-enabling it ...

2 color questions in GEM
by Sebastian Valenzuela 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Part of the function of a patch i'm working on requires the background color to change according to the first 8 numbers on my number pad. I've assigned a variety of different colors to the numbers 1-8, but i'm finding that 2 of them are yellow... when only one should be yellow and the other orange. I've been changing the color of [gemwin] to Orange by sending it a [color 255 165 0( message, but this still comes out as yellow. All my other colors (blue, green, black, white, red, purple, white) work fine. Any ideas? My second question: how do you change the color of text rendered in the [text2d] object? Does that have to do with changing the font? Its coming up as white, I'd just like to change it to black. Thank you, Sebastian
