Apologies for x-posting...
It’s been a busy summer--
pd-l2ork has 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 to
Max’s pattrstorage. We’ve also
squashed dozens of bugs and clean-ups making pd-l2ork better than
ever.
Perhaps the most exciting improvement involves Pd-L2Ork’s
K12 module geared
towards elementary, middle, and high school students. The new
version has over 40 objects/abstractions, allowing students to
seamlessly interact with both Wiimotes and
SARC iteration of Arduino Uno devices
(a.k.a. Sarcduino firmware). 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 inaugural
ICAT K12 Maker
Workshop taking place in Virginia Tech Institute for
Creativity, Arts & Technology’s Studio 1.
So, head on over to the L2Ork’s software page and check out what the
latest version of pd-l2ork is all about ;-)
Best wishes,
