I'm all linux. The previous build was with Raspian Wheezy, now on RAspian Jessie. Thanks for all your help David. I'll muddle through it.

Ok this is pretty weird. wasn't working with -b flag before but now it is. Which is great thank you! However it still doesn't work without the -b flag. Which means I'm going to have re-encode from binary back to numbers and symbols (the data is separated by commas). David, do you know of any currently supported objects to do this?

I was using [moocow/bytes2any] before but I think that lib is now also defunct. Not having much luck at the moment.

Thanks David, yes that works. It works with [netsend] but it's not connecting to my curl script. Except it seems to be half connecting because the curl script only runs when there's a [netreceive] in Pd (with the correct matching port number) or instead if I open a web browser to the same IP address it completely works.

As I said [tcpreceive] worked fine but [netreceive] somehow doesn't.

Hi whale-av, thanks for your reply. I managed to get this up another way a couple of months back, but now I'm back making an updated version. I ended up using pd-extended last time and so found that [tcpreceive] work well. However now I am using Raspian Jessie and Pd Vanilla 0.46.2 I cannot use that object any more.

What you said makes sense I am now attempting to use a [netreceive 8010 0] and then using curl to route my data to the same port (8010). This worked with [tcpreceive] in Extended but I couldn't get it to work with [netreceive]. It still isn't working with [netreceive] now.

I know I have some work to do to separate out the data stream once it's coming through but at this stage even connecting [print] to [netreceive] yields no data. Curl (in my terminal) is acting like it's running and connected, for example if I run the curl scrip without running the Pd patch and building the [netrecieve] first the curl doesn't connect (as you explained before).

Do I need to be doing something to somehow "wake up" [netreceive] to receive the data? If so I can't find it in the documentation. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I'm trying to receive data from a sensor that is connected to my wifi network. I can see the data streaming into a browser window, as a string of numbers, coming in from a specific IP address and port number. But when I bang [listen 8080( into [netrecieve] and [print] the result I get: bind: Address already in use (98).

Is there a way to just scrape that port into Pd somehow?

cheers!

I've been experimenting with [curve3d] for custom geos in GEM but I would really like to mess with the standard primitives. But I can't seem to find anything on the subject in any of my searches here, on pd list or on the web at large.

Any objects I'm overlooking?

cheers

That's pretty much the question. I have the lib installed on my machine and working (yay for servo control) but I'm not a coder so I don;t know how to get the data from the driver.

What I'm looking for is an external that I can pop into my Pd and drive my kinect! So anyone working on one? I'm on OSX btw.

Thanks!

enjoy

I made this for myself and my family (strangely my wife wanted a real tree as well??)

I wanted to say a big thank you and happy holidays (whatever and wherever you celebrate) to all of you!

Thanks so much for all your help as I've been, and continue to, struggle my way up the Pd slope =)

A special thanks to those of you who've made Pd web manuals and tutorials, youtube vids, etc you guys rock.

Happy Holidays Pdeople!

I hope you like the patch

edit: It works best if you load in your favourite festive tunes.

Feel free to add your own gifts and upload =)

Is there a simple way to set a default directory to open files from and save files to?

It bugs me that I have to navigate to it again every time a open Pd fresh.

Just wondering...

Thanks

Is anyone using Pd/Gem and Max/Jitter?

If so why use both? What are the advantages/ disadvantages do you think?

I have an older version of Max and I'm trying to decide if it's worth upgrading it. I'm currently loving what I'm doing with Pd.

This post is not intended to ruffle any feathers. I love open source and Pd. I'm more interested in functional differences.

Pretty simple question... Is there any way to change the screen rez that Pd outputs. I've dled people's patches and sometimes they open at different sizes (the Pd objects are bigger or smaller than when I make a patch from scratch.)

So is there any way to change it? So I can fit more stuff on my tiny laptop screen lol.

Hi all,

I'm looking at getting myself a mobile setup to allow me to perform outside my house!

I will be using a Macbook pro and Pd. At the moment I have no external audio interfaces. After a bit of browsing I've found it's pretty hard to tell what to choose. Having not had experience setting up non-traditional instruments for public performance I'm not sure how to go about it. Do I get and amp? Do I plug into the venue's PA? Do I need an external audio interface to do this? Compatibility with OSX? with Pd? etc...

So I'm wondering do you have any advice?

I'm looking for something with a bit of flexibility, preferably capable of multi-channel output and not expensive xP

I know this is a very broad question and down to a lot of personal choice/ style but I'm hoping for some guidance from people who know more about this than me (all of you lol).

So I'm learning all this cool stuff about how to make Pd patches and make awesome synths and all that. There's heaps of help here and all over the net.

But where do I go to learn about the basic music theory that underpins it all?

thanks in advance

music noob.

Here is my very basic random music patch. Hope you like it. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to get rid of the clicks and pops that are coming from the random [lop~]s? I actually kinda like them but I'm still wondering...

I had the random [lop~]s running straight into the [*~ 0.3]. Then I thought maybe a [delay] and some more filtration might help. It seems to make some difference (I don't think the [delay] is doing anything though).

If you delete the:

[delay~]
|
[lop~]
|
[hip~]

and reconnect the other 3 [lop~]s straight into the [*~ 0.3] you will hear what I mean.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

You could also use [cup] to simplify it since you aren't using any other features of [counter] plus I love [cup]

^_^

I'm having the same issue. pd.info is down but I'm planning on installing on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit

Now to find the [gpio] external and get it working!

Also I used an 8gb formatted SD card and I have one of the original 256M RAM Pis.

Well I tried following the install instructions I linked above for pd-extended but I couldn't get it working. There were a bunch of missing dependancies I'm sure that didn't help. I thought I would try Miller's Pd build instead: http://pd-la.info/pdpi/

It's vanilla Pd not Pd-extended but I've heard GEM doesn't work on the pi yet anyway. This is a full image for the pi with Pd already on it and it works great with the onboard audio! I haven't tried to run a full on patch yet but its running and spitting out sound! I'm pretty happy the only issue I've got is that new pd files open with their taskbar too high up on my display so I can't move them around and I can't figure out how to fix that.

I'm going to try this too so I'll report my results as soon as I can (may not be soon). But you have tried to install 0.43.4 according to this link http://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended-0-43-3-on-raspberry-pi-raspbian-wheezy-armhf 0.43.3 is the alpha release for Rpi Wheezy, you may want to try that instead. This is what I will be trying.
