Hello,
I've created a kick drum pedal trigger using a piezo. I'm running Firmata on Arduino into an adapted pduino pd patch then into Ableton. It works great but double fires pretty easily when hit hard. Could I use a delay object or some other object to help with the double triggering? I don't quite understand how to use the delay object to put a really short delay in between firing.
Here is a screenshot of my patch ( drum trigger is on far right, connected to digital input 3)

Any suggestions for how to eliminate the double triggering would be appreciated.
Thanks,
SD

@saxdame Hello, you already have a [spigot] in each chain, and you could use it (closed for a period of time) to reject any double trigger..
When the data arrives the spigot must be open, but you could use [trigger b b f] to pass the data, close the spigot for "x" msec with [pipe] and then open it again (with another [pipe]) for the next "genuine" data.
David,

@saxdame if you use pd-extended you have an abstraction called [debounce]. just use it with a ms parameter, something like [debounce 20] or higher if you still have the problem.

it's in mapping abstractions.

Cheers~

EEight, the debounce worked like a charm. Awesome suggestion.
Thanks so much!!
Love this forum.

Whale-av,
thank you for your response too. I think [debounce] is pretty much what you suggested but already packaged.
