@whale-av Thanks a lot David, that sent me in the right direction. I used [unpack f f f] then it eventually worked.

This is going live, as a part of a bigger patch, in a few days.

Best regards,

Hey! Back online. Now I have looked at @weightless list_building.pd, the @ingox fifo patch and also tried to build an array version myself as per the suggestion of @seb-harmonik.ar (but it got quite "bloaty"). Thanks!

I suspect that the list_building.pd patch could be the best way to go since I really only need to store a few values (six entries in total). I do not need any graphical representation so using (Pd) arrays may be a waste of resources. It is also very good to make it simple and from scratch so I have total understanding on what is happening inside.

I edited the list_building.pd patch as such:

syzygy_list_test.pd

How do I access the entries in the list individually, "index style"?

I am really thankful for your help and patience with noob questions!

@weightless I ask mainly because I would prefer to be able to read from my android phone while on the move, and because the "math" entry in the Floss manual return an error message only. But I am sure the best way to learn is to use the help files in pd, if you have access to it.

Hey, thanks for the input! Still have not got hold of my computer to test all of this out. Hopefully in a few days.

Slightly off topic: what would be a good (online) text recourse for understanding lists and arrays in puredata, apart from the Floss manual?

Hi,

I need to detect and store time between user input (and probably the input value as well). I would like to be able to store say the last 10 events.

I figure I should use an array that I can then shift the values in, pushing the oldest ones out when new ones come in.

Could someone please show me a good and simple way on how to start experimenting with this?

The purpose is to detect simple patterns in user input and use it as a trigger for things.

Thanks!

That was it, thanks!

Hey, super basic question:

I have a momentary toggle switch that I need to control so it only sends a message when held, or a message when it is released. 1 or 0. (It is really an analog signal, so it sends streams of messages once touched)

For now I just want to have a function that allows no more bangs or messages if it is the same as the previous. What would be the default way of writing this? Something with the [float] object?

Thanks!

Hey, thanks a lot. I think I got it working now. I searched out some later pduino build, seems ok!

Hi,
I have a problem with trying to use both analog ins and digital outs and ins at the same time.
I have not found a firmata that works for both. I must be missing something obvious? :/

@whale-av cool, need to try the hardware solution next round. Great article!
