You know what? I'm not sure. I've never worked with those sensors. What do you mean by "message to bang?" are you doing a call-and-response between Pd and the Arduino?

Are you working with this sketch? http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/PIRsense

that kind of works but after it sends it's message to bang something the PIRturns off when the sensor goes "off" and it sends another value is there a way to ignore that?

Hi Patrick

Are you trying to turn the sample on/off by comparing it to a range?

If so, have you tried something like:

[< 0.3]
|
[change]

?

Hi

I am using a PIR sensor with pduino playground and I have the sensor picking up movement. It's my first pd-arduino excursion so forgive the noobie-ness. When I get the out form the PIR sensor it give me a constant value of SOMETHING The entire time. It's output values range from 0.13-0.664/0.665 constantly. I just want to use the sensor to turn off/on a sample but the file is constantly being "banged" a value. How do I just out put an on/off based upon  this constant stream of Data? I tried select bit that does seem to be working.

It's a simple parallax PIR sensor and I have been having good luck getting usd to wiring and  the breadboard etc. but when I take the analog0 stream/port into pd I do not know how to control that data/

Any help?
