Hi

Does anyone know where to find some basic documentation of how to set up sliders/buttons etc to control a webpd patch. I am familiar with PD but have only basic Javascript/HTML knowledge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hmmm, a quick browse of the supported objects notes that bangs [bng], sliders [vsl]/[hsl], toggles [tgl], and radios [hradio]/[vradio] all work within the patch.
No additional HTML/Javascript knowledge necessary. Is that what you were looking for? Otherwise, the readme notes the use of JS to send messages to your patches from the web page. In this case you'll have to take a crash course on JS/HTML to get much done. If you do end up going there, there are some pretty cool JS knobs and other control widgets available.

@seanzshow1 Hi,

There's also this solution:
https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/11575/heavy-shutdown-released-as-open-source-compile-vst-s-possible-externals-from-your-patches/5

A bit complex, but doable if you're patient

Hi, Thanks for the quick replies.

@palaver As far as I can tell, bangs/sliders etc are supported ie they work within the patch...

...but are not actually usable as GUI elements. So if my patch utilises them to run processes thats fine but (as far asI can tell...) I would need to connect them to HTML GUI elements to actually control them.

I remember reading somewhere that I had to include recieve's in the patch with names that were defined in the code but cant find any proper documentation.

@EEight thanks for the link. It looks a bit over my head but Ill have a go!

Many thanks
