Hi Florian, Johannes an Mike

        after a little abstinence period i want to come back to my  

wiimote experiments and would like to know how far the integration of the MotionPlus into the pd-external went
meanwhile.

I setup up my laptop-environment and downloaded the latest stuff from
svn.

So my first step was trying to compile it on my ubuntu laptop and some
questions aroused, which are based on the fact that i still dont know enough of c-programming
and the compilation process.

I looked into the makefile.org file and tried to set up all pathes
according to my system and here is my first question:

it is referring to this part of the makefile.org

PD_PATH=../../../pd

# specify the path to CWiid: #CWIID_PATH = $(ASCAPE_PATH)/usr/lib LIBCWIID_PATH = "cwiid-svn/libcwiid"

###################################################### # You shouldn't need to change anything beyond here! # ######################################################

ifdef PD_PATH PD_INCLUDE := -I$(PD_PATH)/src PD_EXTRA_PATH := ../../../../lib/libs PD_DOC_PATH := ../../../../lib/pd-help else PD_INCLUDE := -I../../../pd/src PD_EXTRA_PATH := /usr/local/lib/pd/extra PD_DOC_PATH := /usr/local/lib/pd/doc endif

Since i have a somewhat unusual location of my files i ask my self if
these pathes have to point to the locations where these files are (taken from wiimote.c file)

#include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/select.h> #include <bluetooth/bluetooth.h> #include <m_pd.h> #include <math.h> #include <cwiid.h>

Is that Right ???

I am always confused whether the path means the location of the
sources or the binaries.....

I get the following error: in line 55: balance_cal hat unvollständigen Typen unbenutzter Parameter für "mesg", "timestamp" "ap"

nicht deklariert für "CWIID_FLAG_MOTIONPLUS"

i guess some pathes are not set right....

Another thing i never know wit the declaration of pathes...

When do i use " " " quotes ??

like in

PD_PATH="/opt/sw/pure-data/pd" or PD_PATH=/opt/sw/pure-data/pd

do i need the first slash ??

why is somtime an "I" used and sometimes not ?

i looked for the locations of my header files:

#include <stdio.h> /usr/include #include <unistd.h> /usr/include/sys and /usr/include #include <sys/select.h> #include <bluetooth/bluetooth.h> #include <m_pd.h> /usr/include and /opt/sw/pure-data/pd/src #include <math.h> /usr/include #include <cwiid.h> /opt/sw/cwiid-0.6.00/libcwiid/ /usr/local/include

So my makefile should look like that - i thought....

PD_PATH=/opt/sw/pure-data/pd

LIBCWIID_PATH=/opt/sw/cwiid-0.6.00/libcwiid

and further down:

PD_INCLUDE := -I$(PD_PATH)/src PD_EXTRA_PATH:=/opt/sw/pure-data/pd/extra PD_DOC_PATH:=/opt/sw/pure-data/pd/doc

I appreciate any help

Thanks Luigi

Hello,

I added Mike, the developer of the PD-External and IOhannes, who is
also actively working with the External to our conversation.

I continued working on the PD-external a bit the last weeks, and I
think it would be great to set up a repository for it.

@Mike Woz: Can we put it in the PureData development svn ?

What I did was basically integrate multiple bluetooth dongle
support (to be able to use more than 7 wiimotes on one computer). I
haven't used the MotionPlus so far, but as I remember my collegue
IOhannes is planning to use this for a project in a couple of
weeks, and also Mike has done some work with the MotionPlus for the
External.

So again I would say next step is to put it in svn.

Greetings,

Florian

Hello there,

           i am writing to you because the web told me, that   

you are actively developing or working on the cwiid-library or the
Wiimote-PD-External for Puredata.

I worked on a music-improvisation project with the wiimote and
wrote quite a bit of PD-Patches and used the PD-External on linux,
that depends on the cwiid library.

I stopped further development because of the shortcomings due to
accelerometers only and the complicated IR-Things with the wiimote. When i heard of the release of the MotionPlus, i was very excited
and was looking forward to the time, when the MotionPlus was
usuable with the PD-External.

So now my question:

Is it possible to use the MotionPlus with a recent version of
cwiid and the pd-external ? What do i need to do for that ? Simply compile the PD-External against a cwiid-MotionPlus branch ?

Did you make any tests with that ? I could read that it is still
more or less beta...

I further would like to know if you are planning to continue
working on that, to know if in the near future i can count on a
more or less stable release, or if this will always stay a more
or less unstable beta-experiment project.

I would very much appreciate any kind of feedback. If you know of
any other possible way to get data from the MotionPlus into an OSC- Data stream - no matter which platform - please let me know as
well.

Thanks a lot

Luigi
