    So I recently wanted to try connecting arduino (a potentiometer) to PD to control a slider. One of the main objects I have been seeing everyone use is the "comport" object. A week or so in and I cannot seem to call upon the abstraction "comport" and it also does not show up in my "Find externals" search results n my Help section of the PD window. However, I have tried to download the comport extension and placing it (within folders as well as directly) into the patches I am trying to work with but with no luck.
    Some of the possible problems could be that its not the right pure data version (I heard it might work with extended? Not even sure what version mine is or how to check) or old version of the "Find externals" plug in (by Deken?). Or perhaps I am placing the comport abstraction in the wrong places (I have also tried placing it in the externals sub directory).

    Sorry for t the long message. Any help would be amazing. THank you!2020-11-29-012517_1280x720_scrot.png 2020-11-29-012441_1280x720_scrot.png 2020-11-29-012409_1280x720_scrot.png 2020-11-29-012302_1280x720_scrot.png

    @whale-av I solved it! Turns out all I needed to do was change the r symbols to something without a $ sign? Not sure it just somehow worked out lol. Thanks for the help!

    Hey guys!

    I'm trying to make a module in patchbox so that I can control parameters on my pisound phone app. I've almost got the hang of it except I am not sure if send and receive symbols are working out properly. Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.

    I followed the patch making tutorial step by step on the blokas website and it worked. But this time its me trying to integrate it on my own.

    Any help is well appreciated :)

    Update: I have managed to create the modules itself on Pisound phone app. But when I try to move it via the phone, the PD patch slider stays the same. The ktrl also seems to show the <unknown> sign which apparently means something is wrong with my JSON file (but I verified it online and it seems fine?)

    Maybe something to do with the fact that I am using the $ sign or ~
