Hi I have a patch that plays through a video frame by frame with a sensor. However I want to include some audio but only as the sensors values are changing and pausing when the values are static. Is it possible to pause and play through a sample as the sensors values are changing using [change] or would I have to find another means to do this?

Hi, I have an arduino already communicating with pd through processing but I'm thinking of cutting out the middle man and have a couple of questions if anyone could help me out a bit

1.Can pduino read and use string data sent out on the arduino serial?

2.Is there limitations on the sensor values pduino can handle? I thought I read somewhere that it can only handle values up to 255 because there are no limits on the sensor I am currently using(a rotary encoder).

3.Do you have to load a certain firmata example of the board? Or can you use #include <Firmata.h> to get it working? I'm asking because I have some custom code to handle a sensor that can't be handled by just firmata unfortunately.

Well basically I have a patch that reads samples and each sample is select using TUIO and fiduscial markers. When a new marker is picked it resets the sample. I have 2 samples per fiduscial marker however, one for positive values and one for negative but cannot reset these 2 samples when switching between positive and negative. I'm wondering does anyone know whether I can send out a single bang each time I switch between positive and negative so I can reset these samples? I tried using a bang with the expr~ object I already have in place to sort the numbers when they are coming into PD from an arduino but I had no luck. Apologies if I explained this poorly but I tried my best.

Hi, I'm working on a patch that plays a random video. I'm using pix_film because I need to cycle back and forth through frames using a sensor and an arduino like an old style penny arcade machine. My main problem is that the patch becomes very slow and stalls when I attempt to move back through the frames. I understand from other topics I've read that pix_film uses up a lot of ram so I'm just wondering is there a more efficient way to load the movies than I am using currently so it won't be as slow? They are all approx 1 min long. I've attached my patch below.

Hi I have a patch that effects the the phasor of a number of samples using a sensor. To choose the audio sample I am currently using TUIO fiduscial markers. It works just fine except I want the audio it to go back to the start if the sample is switched rather than pausing it and I am unsure of how to exactly set this up. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm fairly new to PD, I've attached the patch I'm working with below and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi just wondering does anyone have any experience working with an incremental rotary encoder connected to an arduino to manipulate audio in pd. My main problem is getting readings from the arduino that can actually be used in pd, any help/advise at all would be greatly appreciated.

I tried implementing the solution using

[inlet (sensor value)]
|
[t f f]
\ /
x
/ \
[- ]
|
[== 0]
|
[outlet]

But I can't seem to get it to work. Just to be sure I'm not making any mistakes would I attach this to the phasor object of the sample I'm trying to effect?

Thanks for the info!!I had a bit of trouble trying to find out more myself I think I better stick to OSC and processing for the time being.

That seems to be what I am looking for I just have to integrate it into my patch thanks!

Thanks! I'll give it a shot
