hi david,
I read:
Also the -rt flag is mandatory if you want any kind of sound. Is there a
for just getting sound I cannot confirm that but since this is kernel 2.4 it's really needed to convince the kernel to grant pd the cpu cycles it deserves.
way to do this without being logged into the ipaq as root?
hmmm ... I quickly found that most interesting things (including ping for some reason) require root privileges anyway so I'm trying my best to over- come my unix conditioning to do most things as joe user and only sysadmin tasks as root ... (and back in the days I used to run pd as root very often when performing so why not do it now on the ipaq)
Um, Guenter's editing of /etc/ipkg/pda.conf didn't work for me, so I got the packages manually.
same here - but I didn't find this too troublesome
I got kismet working too and plan on interfacing kismet and Pd. Anybody have any suggestions on how to do this?
well the easiest way is to change the festival/play paths to something else and write your own scripts to interface with those. This is rather easy for festival but a bit more of a hassle for play since kismet loads the wave files itself and only pipes the pcm data to play - what I did was making dummy waves that contain only numbers that are easily parsed by a pseudo play script that will then pdsend an appropriate command to pd. That's a bit ugly so I might patch kismet to call play or whatever with an argument when I find time. I can send you the scripts if you like and of course I'll put the ipkg online (and a few more) when it's done.
On my laptop I've been using python as a kind of proxy/parser to do it. Is there a way to do this directly on PDa (since there's no [netclient] for it)?
use python and OSC or python to call pdsend.
Also, I haven't tried, but is it possible to run PDa with just the barebones bootstrap installed, and not GPE?
it could work but obviously -nogui only
Thanks to Guenter for this work. This is awesome, I'll never use my laptop again!
hehe unless you want to actually write anything, or watch a dvd or ...
regards,
