Hi all,
Let's use the PD off topic mailing list while there is no Arduino
mailing list... An Arduino mailing list is a necessity.
Also, I am thinking on writing a generic Makefile for compiling and
uploading. I didn't read the source code yet, but it must be done with
the following commands : gcc-avr g++-avr avr-libc uisp. The Gem
makefile is a good inspiration for compiling all the files and linking
them together matching a pattern. The extension of an Arduino code
file should be .c, not .pde as I have seen in some places. No?
Let's boycott Java. If a GUI was to be made for such a software,
something light and portable like tkinter on Python should be used.
(Tk, again...) An example of a nice GUI in tkinter is E-sonoclaste
(google it). Java behaves very strangely on Linux and they still
didn't free it. Python rocks.

Hi all,
I just found a nice replacement for AppleScript. It is in Python,
therefore it is legible (as opposed to AppleScript) and interfacable
with PD. I wish there was something like that on Linux too. Here is
the link :

Cheers,

Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition
system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the computer
generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is formulated
as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules
(constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects
are expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is
style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g.
a fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can be output into various
formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.
The installation instructions and other documentation have been
revised. Support for more output formats has been added, namely ENP and
Fomus, thus allowing export to Finale and Sibelius. Other extensions
have been added, and bugfixes have been made.
For more information, please visit http://strasheela.sourceforge.net/
