hi there

this is my first post here, and already i REALLY need some help.

i am working on a patch that needs to read a feed from proce55ing.

my proce55ing patch snaps a 32x32 picture through a webcam every 2 seconds. i need pd to read the vertical pixel columns in 2 seconds, before processing takes another snapshot and the process repeats itself.

the pixels work like a spectra, dark pixels are silent but light ones are a little louder. the lower the pixel is on the Y axis, the lower the pitch and vice versa.

i wonder if anyone here has enough experience to help me do this. it's an ambitious project for school...!

i managed to connect both programs with OSC, but i've only been able to send two ints at a time.

here is a proce55ing file that snaps off every two seconds. it has no OSC feature yet.

hope you can help!
thanks

to send more than 2 OSC messages at a time, you would need to add more tags to each.

also, i think you'd be better off reading the rows horizontally, so you can just get an average of a row, for the loudness of that pitch.
unless you are playing each column back like a sequencer.

with the horizontal axis idea, if you get an average from each row, you'd just need to write that into a 32point array in pd
