What baud are you running each at? IIRC, the XBee needs a strange
value.

I wish I knew. I'm loading the arduino-test patch with no other

crashes when I enable more than 2 analogIns. Would it help to speed up or slow down the xbee connection?From: Hans-Christoph Steiner [mailto:hans@eds.org] Sent: 10 April 2008 23:12 To: nick burge Cc: Pd List Subject: Re: [PD] pduino and FSRs
The code and the electrics are quite separate. If the electrics
work with one firmware, then they'll work with another. The
question is, what is the "it" that grinds to a halt..hc

Yes, I've got the latest version....maybe a silly question...but
could it be that Pduino is optimised for sensors working on a
supply of 5v. because the phidget voltage dividers i've got my
FSRs attached to come with a potentiometer that alters the
resistance of the circuit...with pduino i can only activate 2 at a
time before it all grinds to a halt...on arduino2PD i can activate
all six without any problem. Strange. Nick.From: Hans-Christoph Steiner [mailto:hans@eds.org] Sent: 10 April 2008 21:51 To: nick burge Cc: Pd List Subject: Re: [PD] pduino and FSRs
I've never run on Vista before, so I can't say much about that. I
have run on Debian, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X. It shouldn't matter what
is generating the data on the arduino, the messages coming to Pd
via the serial port should be all the same.Are you using the latest version: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/Pduino-0.3.1.zip

Hello Hans-Christoph, I am using PD 0.39.3 extended. on a windows
vista system. Its PD that crashes, or "stops working" as Vista so
nicely puts it, when I connect the FSRs. I have arduino connecting via wireless xbees at 19200 baud. I also use an infra red distance sensor that gives no problem. I've been routing the data from the FSRs through the autoscale
object. Maybe I should find a way to reduce the amount of data being
sampled...every 40ms for example? How would I do that? Nick. From: Hans-Christoph Steiner [mailto:hans@eds.org] Sent: 10 April 2008 17:25 To: nick burge Cc: Pd List Subject: Re: [PD] pduino and FSRsWhich program crashes? Which version are you using? You will get
a lot of data, from 6 sensors, Pduino/Firmata will read them all
every 20ms. I have never seen a crash using [arduino], except
when I unplug the arduino when Pd is connected to it, so I
suspect the problem lies elsewhere..hc

more than 1 at a time..... Should I be applying some sort of filter to the data stream? Arduino2PD seems more robust, allowing me to activate all 6
analog inputs at once. Nick Burge. _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ listinfo/pd-list
