Hey guys, I got a question about unpacking serial data from a 6-degree-of-freedom sensor using the 'comport' object.
The receiving data from the sensor should be in a XML format (<data> float float float float float float </data> \n), which would need a further extraction. But it seems like that I cannot get any string from 'comport', but only ascii values (It is not converted into ascii when sending out from arduino). Is it possible to get the data in the way of how it is sent (the XML format)? Or how to make the ascii values back into that format? Would be very thankful for all kind of help and advices
cheers!

Thanks it works! (a bit different though: I delete the ".pdextended.default.plist")

Hello, hope someone knows how to fix this:

After I used once Jack in Pd, the default audio driver was set to jack. And now If I change the audio driver back to portaudio manually by clicking (cuz I'm not using jack), Pd will crash immediately. Is it possible to set the default audio driver back to portaudio? (I've tried already re-install Pd, delete Jack, open in command lines and adding the flag……..)

Would be great if someone can help !!!! Thanks!

@EEight Thanks I solved it already :p. But I mean the dancer/fractal picture in the middle of the GEM window.

And I want to ask one further question: how can I have the video files loaded without selecting them every time ? With audio I know that I can use 'soundfiler' object with a 'read' message that contains the path of the file. Are there similar object to load the video from the path?

Thanks again!!

Can anyone give me a tip of how to get rid of the picture in the middle? Thanks a lot !
