Hey guys, i've been a lurker for ages, and you have all helped a TON!

but this time i cant seem to find anything out there.

Im working on a basic bit if scripting for and arduino to DMX project i've got going.

Anyway, i need something that basicly says if x = 0 DONT BANG!

Please tell me if im making very little sense.

Thanks anyway!

Not sure exactly what your doing but have you checked out [expr]? Or [spigot] could work for turning off a data stream, depending on the application.

Spigot worked a charm!

Thank you heaps mate!

Ill post the patch so you can see it, and if anyone else needs some example of it!
Thanks again.

These two video's gave me the basis of my patch.

Thanks again guys!

Another nice trick is to just use a [sel 0]. The left outlet will bang only on 0 and the right will bang on everything else.

Also be careful about trigger ordering. Your current implementation is ambiguous as it's not obvious if the data goes to the [spigot] or the [== 0] first. If you accidentally reconnect the cords it could mean that the order gets switched and it would do the opposite of what you want!

Use a [t f f] to be certain of which process gets evaluated first.

Thank you Jwif

As ill be using this live, error isnt something that parties dig..

I have made a few adjustments, with some dodgey looking math to get a midi message of 1 to come out as 0 and a message of 127 to come out as 255.

The only bugs i have found,
first one is just if a single note is played it will print twice, both the same, so that shouldnt be a huge issue, the other is that if i play two notes at te same time, only one note will not display 0 when the note of is sent. timing issue?

finally an object of;
[Flatspace/Comport 2 9600]
is placed at the end instead of print, to send the serial data to the Arduino which converts it to DMX.

Thanks heaps guys, all this help has helped (how ironic) a heap!
