Hello list,
This might be a silly noob quetion, but...
I'm trying to send waveform data through udp for realtime plotting. In order to do that, first I use the pack~ object to convert the signal to float packages, then I use the [send $1( message.
Problem is, [send $1( only sends one value message, and then replaces the current value message with the next one.
When I print the output of the pack~ object to the console, I get 64 values at a time, which I think is the current pd buffer. This is the kind of behaviour I'm looking for.
But I need to send, say, at least 40k of values or maybe even a lot more.
One workaround would be writing to a file, but it's too slow for 'realtime' updates.
Another insane solution would be to enter at least 40.000 individual $ variable declarations in the [send $( message...
I guess I'm looking for a way to buffer the values and then send the buffer as one $-type variable...?
Many thanks for any respose.
