Dear subscribers of pd list
Has anyone of you successfully connect the i-cubex digitizer with pd? I have some experience with Max/Msp icube object but not with icube connected to a PC running either Win98 or Linux.
Any good advice? thank you

Hi! To use i-cube on a pc you should use it in stand-alone mode. This means no direct reading of i-cube values inside pd through objects. Instead you need to configure your i-cube to send predefined control change messages and catch those in PD. To configure you i-cube you should have a pc application and transmit your settings via midi into I-cube (download on infusion systems site). In PD you use ctlin object. hope this helps.

Hiya,
I did connect the I-cube to a PC (windows 2000) running PD and it worked pretty well.
I had to do a little tweaking to get sensible values and whatnot but overall it worked fine.
I did encounter however some buffer problems when sending a lot of data over fairly long periods of time (15 minutes, say). What seems to happen is that there are buffers accumulating data in the I-cube, the midi interface, in windows and PD and under some circumstances some of the buffers get filled and it takes a while for the data to come out. It then feels like whatever you're doing to the i-cube is not working, when in fact it's just lag.
Hope that helps.

I've also got problem with midi in PD. while sending full speed midi data, I've got a flush message with slow computers. So PD can't receive full speed midi messages on slow computer (I don't know the limit between slow and fast computer)
For I cube, the solution can be (???) an analog filter between sensor and Icube, to reduce noise, and then reduce midi data transfer.
hope that help.
