[Olaf Matthes]->[Re: [PD] [announce] netsend / netreceive for Max <-> Pd...
|okay, to avoid any confusion: in Pd's help patch for netsend some Max |objects called 'netsend' and 'netreceive' are mentioned (the link given |there does not work any longer...). These objects are different from the |ones I made and here is what's actually different: |- they only support UDP |- they only send messages consisting of <symbol> <float> |- the 'syntax' (i.e. how the patch has to look like) is different from |how it is done in Pd | |With my objects I've tried to stick as close as possible to the Pd |objects (but I don't support the 'old' flag....). So everything you see |in the help patches for Pd can be done exactly the same way in Max. |But the text in the netreceive help patch from Pd 0.36 still states |"Incoming network messages appear in 'receive' objects;" This is no |longer true (unless the 'old' flag is set to explicitly switch back to |this old mode). | |To send messages of arbitrary length, the following (using 'l2s' from |zexy) should work: | |[your list of arbitrary length with 23 floats and probably symbols] | | |[l2s] | | |[send $1] | | |[netsend] | |By converting a list to a symbol it shrinks down to a constant length of |always one symbol, regardless the original list length. netreceive will |unpack it into a list again before sending it through it's outlet. | |Olaf | | |jose manuel berenguer schrieb: |> |> hello |> |> as far as i know, netsend and netreceive work with lists ... i |> haven't tested the limit of length, but if you send the message, say, |> |> (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11) |> |> and you connect the left outlet of netreceive to a print object you |> will see the list 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 on the terminal |> |> if you connect this left outlet to a message (set $1), and the outlet |> of this message to an empty message box, you will get 0 |> |> if you connect it to a message (set $1 $2), you will get 0 1 |> |> (set $1 $2 $3) will give 0 1 2, and so on...until $9... |> |> if you connect the left outlet of netreceive to an unpack object you |> will retrieve all integers sent... |> |> if you start the list by a symbol, you can retrieve it by forcing |> unpack to process a symbol (s) in its first analyzed atom |> |> if you place a symbol in any other place of your outgoing list, you |> should also inform unpack about the position... |> |> the list fuu 4 4 4 fiii |> |> should be read by unpack s 0 0 0 s. |> |> you need, indeed, connect outlets 1 and 5 to symbol boxes... |> |> in max, you need only connect the left outlet of netreceive to a |> prepend set object connected to an empty message box... |> |> jmb |> |> >I remember some time ago I tried a pd netsend/netreceive object for Max and it |> >would only accept single element messages, for instance, 3 64; would be |> >accepted as just 3.
