hi all,
I got a problem with...as the subject says: ableton to pure data to arduino.
My project is a robot band.

.. twenty servo motors controlled by the arduino board, I send the different values to the servos from pure data to arduino and pure data is controlled in midi from ableton live, I use Loopbe as my virtual midi to make the link beetween live and pd. I got 9 channels. My problem is quite strange because everything works just fine for 5 or ten minutes, and then it seems that the midi data are not sent or received the right way, the tempo changes, the servos start to behave wierdly, not synchronized anymore. The only way I found to make them work correctly again is to go in the midi settings of pd and say AGAIN to choose Loopbe as my input although it's still said that pd takes Loopbe as my input...???
if anybody could help me ..
thank you

hi,
I'm trying to use pd with live ableton, for that I installed Jackdmp, but when I try to connect them in jackdmp, I don't see PD , but I see Live ableton...however I think I configured well in PD, because I can choose Jackrouter as input and output devices, and when I press apply, I see a reaction in the messages window of Jack, it says:"16:52:02.648 JACK connection graph change."... ??
Did somebody have the same problem?
thank you

hi everybody,
I don't know if it's the right place to post this topic, but anyway.. I'd like to buy a netbook to use it as the brain of a robot with pure data and arduino
here it is: http://cgi.befr.ebay.be/7-Mini-Netbook-Laptop-Notebook-WIFI-Windows-2GB-HD-/200515885609?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item2eafad9a29
I'd like to know if I'm going to be able to install PD on it..does somebody know?
thanx

hello everybody,
I'd like to control several servos with pure data and arduino. For the moment I'm able to control one servo with this simple arduino sketch:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo1;
int incomingByte = 0; // for incoming serial data

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // opens serial port, sets data rate to 9600 bps
myservo1.attach(3);

}

void loop() {

// send data only when you receive data:
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
// read the incoming byte:
incomingByte = Serial.read();
myservo1.write(incomingByte);

}
}

in PD, the patch is a simple HSLIDER 0-->180 linked to the object comport 4 9600

I read on the net that to control multiple servos I need to write a communication protocol, ... I'm a noob and don't know how to do this, does anybody know how to?
thank you
