Yay...

I took this from my blog which is an eyesore and hard to concentrate on.

Let's learn how to combine arduino and puredata into one almighty power, the mighty AARRGHDATA(i think the proper name is the classier pduino, i guess you say it peedweeno, or padooiino)

Firstly. If you haven't already, check that your arduino is working. if you know this. keep scrolling until you see a kitten.

Plug it in and fire up the arduino software. You can get that from here
now lets do a quick test(is shouldve flashed when you plugged it in anyway) but get an LED, and put it so that the longer leg(theres a fancy name for this) is in the slot for digital pin 13 and the shorter leg(also has a fancy name) is in GND(you could say things "gund" or "gnnnd" but im fairly sure it just means GROUND.

now go file>sketchbook>examples>digital>blink and it will open that sketch. click the "upload" button and watch as it updates you on upload status and tells you when its complete.

is it blinking? nice. i could go on more about this, but i want to talk about PD, thats where it gets fun.

KITTENS

you can start looking again if you like pd.

once again, go to file>sketchbook>examples>library-firmata>standard firmata
dont see it? its a standard library now, so you should probably check you have the latest version(anything above 12 will be fine)

around this time you want to open pd and try create an object called "arduino". nothing? then you need to be going here to visit the wonderful mr hans, and download pduino.(i'm not sure if the arduino library is standard in pd extended now)

did you upload that standard firmata sketch to your board? i didnt tell you to. but thats ok, i like the way you think. do that if you haven't.
once thats uploaded properly, you can quit the arduino software, we do not need its services anymore.

now go inside that pduino folder you downloaded and open the patch arduino-test.pd

you should see something like thisss.

i dont know why all those errors happen. but click the "devices" message box in there to check what port your arduino is on.

hans is pretty awesome for making this patch, its really easy to understand i think.
change your port to whatever pd tells you your arduino is on.

HUZZAH! CONNECTIVITY!

now, lets say we still have that LED plugged in. want to test it?

hit that "pulse all outputs" toggle, and it should blink on and off. look around that subpatch, its pretty simple too. (you will want to know all these messages to send when writing your own patch for stuff)

Input is easy too. turn on that little toggle under [arduino 1] to let through outlet info.

you'll also want to enable your analogIns in the yellow radio up there.
say you had a potentiometer you wanted to connect up, it's really easy. and a breadboard will make all your connections easier to make.

but you'd just connect it up like this.

then you'd just enable the input you are using in that patch(input 2 in this case) and watch the input stream in through the a3 number box at the bottom.

this is how it works for me anyway.

that should just show you how the basics of it work, and you can move from there.

Arduino and pure data

Hello. I'm trying to use Arduino with Puredata using the Firmata Library. I downloaded Firmata and installed the library as instructed in the readme, and then loaded 'AnalogFirmata' from the library examples. When I try to compile this example (or any of the others) I receive a string of error statements. Code and errors listed below. Any suggestions?

Code:

/* This firmware supports as many analog ports as possible, all analog inputs,
* four PWM outputs, and two with servo support.
*
* This example code is in the public domain.
*/
#include <Firmata.h>
#include <Servo.h>

int analogPin = 0; // counter for reading analog pins
/* timer variables */
extern volatile unsigned long timer0_overflow_count; // timer0 from wiring.c
unsigned long nextExecuteTime; // for comparison with timer0_overflow_count

/*==============================================================================

* FUNCTIONS
*============================================================================*/

void analogWriteCallback(byte pin, int value)
{
switch(pin) {
case 9: servo9.write(value); break;

case 3:
case 5:
case 6:
case 11: // PWM pins
analogWrite(pin, value);
break;
}
}
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// sets bits in a bit array (int) to toggle the reporting of the analogIns
void reportAnalogCallback(byte pin, int value)
{
if(value == 0) {
analogInputsToReport = analogInputsToReport &~ (1 << pin);
}
else { // everything but 0 enables reporting of that pin
analogInputsToReport = analogInputsToReport | (1 << pin);
}
// TODO: save status to EEPROM here, if changed
}

/*==============================================================================

*============================================================================*/
void setup()
{
Firmata.setFirmwareVersion(0, 2);
Firmata.attach(ANALOG_MESSAGE, analogWriteCallback);
Firmata.attach(REPORT_ANALOG, reportAnalogCallback);

servo9.attach(9);
servo10.attach(10);
Firmata.begin();
}

/*==============================================================================

void loop()
{
while(Firmata.available())
Firmata.processInput();

if(timer0_overflow_count > nextExecuteTime) {
nextExecuteTime = timer0_overflow_count + 19; // run this every 20ms
for(analogPin=0;analogPin<TOTAL_ANALOG_PINS;analogPin++) {
if( analogInputsToReport & (1 << analogPin) )
Firmata.sendAnalog(analogPin, analogRead(analogPin));
}
}
}

Ctlin values real time store and comparison

HI. I made a little pd for changing in real time some midi data from a controller when you press a special key, like a SHIFT function. My problem is that I need to recall the shifted/unshifted controller position to resume the controller when it reaches again that position, like the "pick up" function in Ableton Live. The idea is to control more than one virtual controller with just one real controller.
I have it all working for just one real midi controller (I mean one knob or one slider sending midi controller values). I used "gate" and "sel" commands. I'm trying now to replicate the functionality with n real controllers.
In other words, now I'm just recalling one controller position value for any controller but not from which controller is that value. I need it to work multithreading, because the operator may wish to move multiple controllers shifted and unshifted, and every shifted/unshifted position must be stored somewhere for the pick up functionality.

Is this too much for PD? I think the algorithm in C and it's not that hard using hashmaps or something similar to store controllerID+controllerValue and check if it has a pick up value active.
Could you give me some directions using PD? Can I store and recall key+value in any way?

thanks,
Federico

PD Sound

Hello!

I just came from a 4 day workshop about PD. I liked it so much that I already bought arduino, a couple of sensors and a webcam.
Anyway I was working on college computers and everything was ready to use, but now I installed it on my pc and I can't read wave files from it.

The error is:
"signal outlet connect to nonsignal inlet", and it happens every time I try to play a .wav file, when I select "compute audio" on console, when I select "Audio on", and every time I touch on "audio settings" or "ASIO".
I run the "test audio and MIDI" and I can hear both test signals. I've tried using some example patches in the 3.audio.examples folder and I could hear pc sounds.
Happens either I use GEM or not.

I made a file that has a .wav and I'm using the webcam as motion sensor to change the sound pitch. As I try to play the .wav, the console shows that error.
The .wav file is in the same folder as the PD file ofc.

I searched the forum and google for solutions:
@Thor said:

Go to Preferences > Audio Settings
then choose your built-in-audio or whatever device you use
I have noticed that when I use my isight with GEM, PD sometimes defaults to use it as input AND output (!)
try that and I bet you will be ok

=didnt work

@nickj said:

If you have a camera plugged in (ichat) , go into preferences -> audio settings then untick the input (isight) device 1.

=didnt work - dont have ichat cam but still I checked if it had any sound input and it doesnt.

@http://en.flossmanuals.net/PureData/TroubleShooting said:

I get the message "error: signal outlet connect to nonsignal inlet (ignored)" when I open a patch.

This error tends to go with the previous error "I get the message '... couldn't create' when I open a patch...". Often this error means that an object has failed to create, usually because it uses an External Object which is not available in the current installation or configuration of PD. PD will preserve the location and connections of an object which fails to create, but it will not function. You can use the "Find last error" function under the "Find" menu to track down which objects caused errors. PD will treat uncreated objects as Dataflow Objects even if they were originally Audio Objects, so this error will follow the previous one. Please see the relevant sections in the "Configuring PD" chapter for information about setting the "Path" and "Startup" options. If the External is not available in PD Extended, you may need to install it yourself.

now I ran out of ideas and just decided to ask...

I have:

Pd-0.40.3-extended
Win XP SP2
Vimicro USB pc cam (VC0305)
Realtek AC'97 Audio

If anyone can help, thx in advance.

Interfacing PD with the Arduino ... how?

i got a problem in uploading the file to the board. ( I have press play, same error found. When I press upload to I/O, below error found)
anyone can help?
thx
