Hi there, hope someone can help.
I'm trying to run a bash script together with Pd and am having some issues.
Brief overview: the bash script sends iwlist data every 0.5 secs via UDP to Pd. This works fine when launched from the GUI - the script runs, sends packets of info to Pd constantly for Pd to play with, and stops when I tell it to.
I'm trying to automate the process into a single script from command line, launching Pd with nogui. For some reason when I do this, the scanning script runs fine, but only the first scan packet gets to Pd - after that, the scan keeps going but the data isn't making it to Pd, though Pd is still running fine it appears.
I'm going to try using {shell} to run the scanning script from inside Pd instead, but so far whenever I try to call the script in a message to [shell], Pd crashes. I can't find much help on how to use [shell] online, and hope there's some bash/Pd pros here who can shed some light on this issue.
Many thanks!
