Hi! Thanks to all the nice people here who have done such great work that got me interested in PureData (and by extension Arduino) in the first place!!!!!

I finally got my Arduino and PureData/GEM communicating nicely with PDuino! Wonderful!

Here's a video:

Hooray!

Now on to my problem. I am using Pd version 0.40.3-extended on an Intel MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.4.

When I open up PD this is the messages I get:

===============

Can anyone tell me why GEM and xsample load in but all the other libraries do not?

Also, where the heck do I get the OpenSoundControl object for PD??? I'm a total noob when it comes to compiling from source code, is there an easier way?

Thanks so much for anyone's help

OK I am looking in the preferences folder (Mac OSX 10.5.4) where the org.puredata.pd.plist file was and there are some other files there too:

org.puredata.dl.wish.plist
org.puredata.plist

Should I delete these too?

maybe just rename them or move them somewhere else for the timebeing, just in case you need to access them again.

Thanks hardoff, I moved those files elsewhere and started PD up again but I still get the same messages.

yeah, what might have happened is that these preferences have overwritten the internal ones in your pd extended distribution.

i highly doubt this is the most practical solution, but what i did when i was on mac and i had the same situation was just delete pd, find all instances of .plist files with anything to do with pd and renamed them so they wouldn't be loaded...

and then i just downloaded pd one more time and started again.

Thanks hardoff I will try that.

The saga continues...

I did what you said to do, hardoff, and now I get this message when starting Pd-extended:

So, a lot of things seem to have loaded, a lot of stuff does seem to work like cyclone objects, but I still can't get the oscx objects to work, which is what I war really hoping for. So, it is mostly a success but still some frustrating problems exist. Thank you for your help!

OK I think I have it figured out...

since trying to put in a path in startup doesn't, I searched around and found this:

http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2006-04/037816.html

I'm on a mac but the technique seems to work I hope...

you use [import oscx] etc.

I'm at work now so I don't know if it works for sure but it seems to have imported the libraries that way

thanks
