hi
it sounds like you're confusing floats and lists. float-messages can be integer or floating point numbers. lists on the other hand consists of a few elements. the first element (in pd called 'method') of a list is 'list', that can be followed by other elements (called 'arguments') like '3', '789.01' or 'hello'. lists look like that:
[list 3 78 23 1( <- list of floats
or
[list dog and cat( <-list of symbols
or mixed
[list 34 dog 7.34( <-the method is 'list', Å¡first argument is '34', second argument is 'dog' and so on
if the first argument is a number, you don't need to put 'list' as a method, because pd handles it as a list anyway:
[list 23 cat hello 7.7( <- first argument is '23'
and
[23 cat hello 7.7(
are handled the same. (please correct me, if i am wrong. this was quite confusing for me, when i started to do pd)
if i understand you right, you want to store 256 values from java into an array. it is possible to 'netsend' or 'netreceive' a list of 256 elements, but you cannot 'tabwrite' lists.[tabwrite] has two inlets, the right for the 'index', the left for the value. so i thinks it's better to send your 256 values as a sequence of 256 float-msgs. to store them into the array, a counter is needed, which tells the array on what position (index) we are. this is the way i would solve it, but it is surely not the only one.

I have a netserver connection that send to a pd patch 256 values that
I receive in an number box.
I try
connect a [send mi] to the number box that receive values from java
in sequence, I suppose in pd we name this kind of object - list - but IŽm not sure. Then a connect a [receive mi] with a [t f], a [unpack] and in the end [tabwrite array_256]. In the right inlet of tabwrite I connect a cycle from 1 to 256.
When I see the content of table array_256 a can perceive that I have
some values from the java connection and others I donŽt know from where they appeared. I suppose itŽs a questions of syncronization. Anybody could help me?
I will thank, a lot ... :)
