Hi Jack, 

my webcam is taking in data via pix_film, I wish to unpack this data into float to control translationXYZ and rotationXYZ. at the minute I try to unpack it with [unpack f] or [unpack s] but the console spits out an error, type mismatched I get 'bad type' if I try [unpack a] 

maybe I'm approaching the task with the wrong process - but I want the webcam movement to feedback and control translations/rotations 

all recommendations wanted,

all the best
