Hi there everyone.
I'm currently working on a project, where i want to control video using a Passive Infra Red Sensor connected to a BASIC Stamp microcontroller. I've read somewhere on the internet that Pure Data and GEM can be used to control or manipulate a video in realtime. Is it true? I mean, can i use them (PD and GEM) for my project? If so, how can i program them to read data from a serial port?

Many thanks in advance.
