Looks cool! thanks for the idea, i think i'll give it a shot.
If, however, anyone knows how to recieve an 5v undefined-length impulse with [comport], with little hardware fuss, i'm still interested.


Do you happen to have a parallel port? for some reason I think it would be easier to use directly than a comport...

for example: http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg05283.html
using the parallel port:
you need the external zexy ftp://ftp.iem.at/pd/Externals/ZEXY , which
contains the object [lpt] to get acces to the parallel port. on linux,
you need to be root to get permissions, on windows you need to installl
something addidionatlly (have a look at the helpfile of [lpt]).

Dear List,

i wish to connect a simple 3-switch foot-switch to Pd, and i was hoping i could do it with [comport], but when digging into it, i got slightly disheartened... can you help me how to do this, at least with 1 switch, without building some complicated interface? It's not a pedal with pots, just "push-buttons" (not even real switches which would stay on or off).

Thanks,
Andras
