    I am wondering if anyone is working on making a library to connect Kinect with Pure Data.

    I know there is already a Proccessing library out - so I imagine one could connect the kinect to Proccessing and then connect Proccessing to PD through OSC

    Problem is that I have Windows 7 and the Proccessing library for W7 isnt out yet.

    If anyone is experimenting with this and has gotten somwhere I would be interested in hearing about it.

    Best regards

    I have spent now two evenings trying to find decent instructions on how to install externals on PD extended with no luck

    In some places it says that I only need to put the external lib into a folder Programfiles/commonfiles/pd

    I am using windows 7

    In other places it says I need to add a path and startup - which I have tried with no luck

    I havent found a single instruction that isnt cryptic (for a noob) to say the least, and assumes that I should know way more than is reasonable if PD is supposed to be attractive to other than programmers

    I am trying to install gridflow and wiimote lib

    Could someone please explain this to me like I am a 5 year old noob

    All the best

    Hi

    I am trying to get PD to use this this external http://youngmusic.org/wiki/index.php/Wiilib

    This is the first time I have tried to load an external so If I am doing something silly, then go easy on me.

    I am using windows 7 on an Acer Aspire 5740G

    I have made a folder called wiilib in; C:Program Files/pd/extra/wiilib

    -where I put all the files downloaded from the above mentioned site

    Then I go to File - Startup and press new, write wiilib, press "ok" then "apply" then "ok" to close the startup window

    Then I go to File - Path and press "new" write in C:Program Files/pd/extra/wiilib

    and again; press "ok" then "apply" then "ok" to close the window

    Then I close the PD program and double clik it again, and the Program loads up all the normal externals (this is PD extended btw) but at the bottom it says:

    wiilib: can't load library

    And the patch that comes with this external, has some objects not working (red-lined)

    I have also tried the same with the gridflow-9.8 library, with the same result

    I have been trying to get this to work for two days and no luck - from the instructions I have found on the web, I would think I was doing this right, but in my opinion the instructions I have found are really vague on this subject (at least for beginners)

    Some help would be much appriciated :)

    Best regards. Eds

    Hy

    I am trying out using a webcam for position tracking in PD but the latency is way to much for the output value to be usable for controlling sound.

    I am using an TRUST Webcam WB-3500T

    and I have installed the only driver I can find for it.

    What would be a good webcam for getting low latency tracking in PD?

    Best regards

    Hi

    I am using a "6 degree of freedom" motion sensor...

    http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9431

    ... and connecting it through an arduino mega that than uses the Pduino mega...

    http://www.pjrc.com/tmp/firmata/readme.html

    ...to interface with Pure data.

    I am wondering if anyone knows of any pathces to correctly read 6dof sensors (3 vector accellerometer and 3 vector gyroscope)

    I found this tutorial on the maths of how to do this but since I am new to Pure data (and my math skills are not my best features :) I am wondering if anybody has already been trying something similar and might give me a point in the right direction.

    All the best.

    Hi Davebv

    Is the MusicController program available for Windows?

    I am using Windows 7

    Ok

    I didnt notice that this lib (wiilib) is only for linux

    But still the exactly same thing happens with Gridflow lib - and I am sure I downloaded the windows version

    So if anyone can explain what I am doing wrong, that would make me very happy :)

    Thanks

    I got myself the PS3 eye, seems to be both the best and most cost effective choice

    Thanks guys

    I have seen some youtube videos of people using cameras such as this one:

    and also the Reactable.

    Is it more common for people to just use video cameras for these things?

    best regards, and thanks again for the assistance :)

    Here is what you need

    http://www.pjrc.com/tmp/firmata/readme.html

    there is a sip file there you can download with a ready made patch for 16 analog outputs from the arduino mega

    :)

    Yeah it is quite alot of math. I didnt expect you to to do it for me :) More wondering if anyone had done something similar before.

    when you say "get help on [+ ] ...) is that an url or are you talking about looking into the explination for the plus object within PD?

    This is a tutorial for a 5DOF sensor though. I guess one could extend it to a 6DOF sensor
