So I am working with the Arduino and the Wiring programming
environment, and it got me thinking: what about a patcher language for
microcontrollers? It could be done like Pocket Gamelan, the Pd->J2ME
compiler. http://www.uow.edu.au/~mh675/personal/pd2j2me.htm
There would be a subset of Pd which would be allowed for
microcontrollers. This would then be compiled to a microcontroller
firmware and uploaded to the chip.
Maybe its time to think of a more general approach to compiling Pd
patches. It would be quite nice to be able to program mobile phones
and microcontrollers in Pd.
