hey folks!
i have a little problem here:
i’m trying to interpret and use data coming into pd from another program (namely mobmuplat). the object sending the data is a grid consisting of 3x4 buttons/toggles. the grid is named „/grid“.
when i hit one of the buttons in the grid mobmuplat sends data like „/grid 0 0 1“ - meaning that the first button (0) of the first row (0) was activated (1).
pd obviously receives the data like „ 0 0 1“ - because when connecting the receive-object of the grid with a print-object, the log-screen says: „print: 0 0 1“
for me this data seems to be a message that corresponds to (x-position $1, y-position $2, on/off $3).

now, how can i readout such a message to seperate the 3 values in order to know which button got hit? is there maybe an object to simply compare the incoming message with some self-generated messages to see if they match?

i’m thankful for all help and information!

@biorhythm Hi, I would probably do something like this. Every button sends its state to it's own send object.

grid.send.pd

@biorhythm Hello, here are some ideas developed for the same sort of purpose..... although a 15x15 matrix.

You might find something useful inside....

Realised my patch can be reduced to this:
