Apologies for x-posting...
It's been a busy summer--pd-l2ork http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56has been making big strides towards becoming a robust full-fledged digital signal processing tool. The latest version includes revolutionary preset_hub and preset_node system that supports a wide range of data types as well as abstractions. It is essentially Pd's counterpart toMax's pattrstorage http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/max-ref/pattrstorage.html. We've also squashed dozens of bugs and clean-ups making pd-l2ork better than ever.
Perhaps the most exciting improvement involves Pd-L2Ork'sK12 module http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?p=1964geared towards elementary, middle, and high school students. The new version has over 40 objects/abstractions, allowing students to seamlessly interact with both Wiimotes andSARC iteration of Arduino Uno devices (a.k.a. Sarcduino firmware) http://www.musicsensorsemotion.com/2010/03/08/sarcduino/. And this very version together with 15 L2Ork stations is being used this week by more than 30 middle-school students as part of the inauguralICAT K12 Maker Workshop http://www.icat.vt.edu/ taking place in Virginia Tech Institute for Creativity, Arts & Technology's Studio 1. So, head on over to the L2Ork's software page http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56and check out what the latest version of pd-l2ork is all about ;-)
Best wishes,
