I know the GRiPD is no longer maintained, but it happens to be perfect for our project so at least in the short term it makes sense for us to use.
Just out of curiousity, why did this project die? It seems to be one of the most promising/interesting approaches I've seen to using PD. Especially because of the severe problems that PD Gui objects currently cause in terms of hogging CPU...
Although, admittedly it might be just as easy to run PD without the GUI and send OSC messages with an interface built in (insert program of choice). Is that why it's obsolete? I've been meaning to try this approach but haven't yet had the chance.
In fact, generally I've been so busy doing web design + day job + putting out my first techno releases, I haven't had any PD time, but I'm dying to get back to a bit of PD work... Especially because I'm hoping to do some installations next year.
Joe Sarlo wrote it then stopped working on it. The code is all
there, it can live again if someone starts working on it. I don't
think it would take much to get it working well as part of the Pd-
extended distro on all platforms.
