Dear all,

I've been searching extensively for resources related to reading GPS data on monmuplat /pdparty
I'm currently working on a project (soundwalk) where I would like to create a patch that triggers playback audio based on GPS location I would also like to create some generative audio layers that would be also triggered by GPS and "Noise peaks" (to read the surrounding noice and trigger it at certain threshold.
currently on Pdparty when I open the console I can see the location is enabled, however I'm still struggling getting GPS readings on pdparty.
Would really appreciate your help,

@Shabroy It seems that you have to enable GPS in PdParty........
Chapter 3.2.5 here........ https://danomatika.com/publications/pdparty_pdcon_16.pdf
.... and then receive the data through an [r #loc] object...... then [unpack f f f] for lon, lat, accuracy.

You will find a lot of help on Github..... especially here...... https://github.com/rjdj/rjlib/blob/master/rj/r_%23loc-help.pd
It is old but should still be good.... and there are patches for generation too.
You should grab the whole rjlib here..... https://github.com/rjdj

thank you so much for the links, so I'll try to describe clearer what happened so far,

that's a screenshot of the only patch so far that showed me message on the console that "Pd. location enabled" however I was yet unable to see any readings from the GPS coordinates.

also I've been getting so mixed information related to how I should write the objects for example to receive from GPS should it be [r locp or [r #loc] or [r #_loc] also to unpack the functions is it 3 values or 9 values?

I've been also told that I cannot get the readings as numbers directly that's why I've used {r _lat _lon _accuraccy} I tried to as receive symbol from the properties of the number box for the lat, lon, accuracy but still couldn't get the numbers to appear.

the patch from this link https://github.com/rjdj/rjlib/blob/master/rj/r_%23loc-help.pd looks different I've tried also to follow it

and it showed me nothing on the console at all, in the help file the object is written as [r_#loc] showed an error "couldnt create" I've added a space after the r so it became [r _#loc] but that's showing nothing on the console.

thanks for taking the time to look into it, really appreciated.

@Shabroy I don't have an ios device so I am flailing around in the dark.
But you should try [r_#loc-help] which has a spigot to open for data to flow (It seems that the format is definitely [r_#x] with no spaces).
And although these rj patches are useful for debugging it seems that the [rj_loc] object is required and is only created on an I-device.... presumably the same as the ios window screenshot (Loc ... see below) from the PdParty/Guide PDF.

I might read this..... https://danomatika.com/code/pdparty/guide ... when I get time.
It seems to explain such things...
And I imagine that this.....

... exists somewhere in the PdParty download......... https://danomatika.com/code/pdparty
