Hello all,
Wondering if anyone can help me out on this project– ultimately, the goal is to have values from pure data create objects within IanniX (curves + creation arguments/coordinates) as well as triggers and cursors to move throughout. All the information is actually coming from Arduino sensors, but I'm not sure if that really matters in this equation or not.

I feel quite confident in pd in general, but I can't seem to get the grasp for how adding objects to IanniX works (and I'm pretty sure the problem here lies within PD, not IanniX, which is why I'm in this forum and not theirs). The example IanniX patch for interfacing with PD works fine for me (controlling the speed of playback), but when it comes to adding new objects, not manipulating existing objects, it doesn't quite seem to work the same way.

For reference, what I'm doing is creating a message box:

[send /iannix/add trigger $1] ------- [sendOSC]

This successfully creates a trigger, but how can I edit its other parameters from PD? How would the creation of curves (i.e. plotting multiple coordinates) work?
There is one example patch on the IanniX forum but it doesn't really give me much information...

Any help would be much appreciated!

IanniX is supercool. I'll have a play with it I think. On first look it seems the example IanniX Pd patch is using deprecated objects. Try the mrpeach lib for OSC. If I figure it out I'll let you know.

Ok I got it working. It's the oddest OSC format I've seen. I used a program called OSCulator to figure out the routing, but when I tried to route it in Pd using [routeOSC] it didn't work properly so I just used a normal [route] and then [unpack].

I've included the sample patch I made. For some reason I couldn't save my IanniX project (the software doesn't have a "Save As"??) It was just some few circles, a couple of straight lines and some trigger dots randomly placed on some of the paths.

The key to using my patch is making sure that you cursors are the same ones that are routing in Pd, the ones I have used are 2, 6 and 10. Change them around, add more whatever, to work with you IanniX project. (You can see which cursor is which by highlighting it in Iannix.)

Sorry I couldn't include my IanniX file, that would have made this example a lot clearer, I tried to for ages to get it to save, it said it was saved, but I still can't find the file anywhere.

Let me know how you go. I think the software has potential but the version I just tried was a little lacking in features imho (OSX).

Oh and my audio out abstraction

That is helpful (its a less complicated patch than what I use to extract OSC from IanniX), but what I'm actually trying to do is the opposite:

have data from PD create curves and triggers in IanniX. The information supplied by PD would have to include creation arguments for the objects– curves, for example, need at least two cartesian coordinate pairs (though IanniX technically accepts x,y,z arguments) in order to make a straight line and (ideally) even more to make more complicated shapes.

Any idea how to do this?

I have never tried to send OSC data out of Pd, but check out [udpsend] and [packOSC] (don't forget you need the mrpeach lib for this) objects that should help. As you say you will need to know what format/structure/syntax IanniX wants to receive. I'd like to see what you come up with. Good luck =)
