This is not me, but very very cool.

Trying to make my GEM geometry a little more sophisticated.
Learning the ins and outs of graphing linear equations, and used GEM to wrap my head around it.
This is a patch that finds the perpendicular bisector of a line.

Next step is to add another point, and find the equation of a circle based on the three.

I need to implement a fifo pix buffer, and I can't quite get my brain around it using the pix_read/write objects -- at least not in an efficient/pretty way. anybody have a good way of doing this?

So, I've finally got a buddy who wants to do some live sampling, on top of pre-recorded loops. We'll be dubbing with outboard analog gear, so basically I need to make a multitrack looper. My question is: say I've got a 1-second sample, looping via tabread4~, and a 1 sec delwrite~/delread~ combo. I play back the sample via a phasor, and use the delay with feedback to create a layered loop. Is it possible for the two to "drift" apart?

Is it in -extended yet?

I need to send JSON objects as strings via packOSC.
It seem sthat the '{' character is not allowed to be entered into a message.
P.s: Jsom looks like this:

{'key':'value', 'string':'foo', 'array':[.0,.0,.75,.3], }

Job description HERE.

If you are in MA/New England, and this seems like it would be up your alley, please give us a call. The position is mainly assisting me, and I'm a long-time Pd (board member since '05) and FOSS evangelist. Don't let the "entry-level" or "part-time" thing scare you off. Off the record: the right candidate could get past those caveats in a few months. What we are really looking for is a jack-of-all-tech-trades type who isn't afraid to get in over their head and learn new things.

any specific questions before you apply, or officially express interest? Feel free to ask me:

Thought some of you might be nerd enough to appreciate reading patents in the morning.
Can Apple really patent his? Isn't this basically Granular synthesis?
I gotta try and make this.

Anybody done anything with rendering video as ASCII chars? Similar to aaxine/aalib?

I've got a bunch of ways to do it in the terminal with video files, but I'd like to do it with a webcam for a show in a few weeks.

Anybody seen this?
LabView is a graphical dataflow programming language aimed as scientific and industrial automation markets. I have a buddy that works with free-electron lasers and he told me about a new product that they have. LabView Embedded allows you to design firmware for ARM chips in LabView and burn them to the chips with a programmer. The chips can then be embedded in various off-the-shelf boards and devkits, and Viola! Embedded system! ARMs are very fast and some flavors are aimed at multimedia development (think iPhone).

This is a 10k product or so. Is there an OpenSource alternative? Can Pd enter this realm?

Hi, I know at least some of this has been covered before...

I could as the -dev list, but I figured I'd try y'all first: Is there any hope that the Pd-dev team might consider, or is considering extending Pd to allow it to compile standalones, or even export source?

I'm asking because I am going to embark on a rather ambitious project which may become a product prototype. I am interested in Pd because I know it, it is openSource, and easy for novices to use. I intend to develop a device which will combine a realtime DSP engine with novel and intuitive hardware and an object-oriented patching/dataflow environment similar to PD. Ideally, the hardware would be embedded, headless, and *FAST*. Although, within my capabilities at this time is prototyping on a linux box with a realitime kernel.

So, in addition to the above question, I guess I am wondering if anyone is aware of a particularly well-suited DSP toolchain/hardware that is openSource. OR, a DSP language that will fit the bill and allow me to compile executable binaries that will run on embedded processors or DSP hardware.

This is a re-repost. Arduino firmware and associated Pd patch for rx/parsing simple ASCII serial messages from ardiuino.

can't seem to attach files. What's up with that?

This is an example of how to parse serial data send from arduino; with arduino patch.

...suck. Is it time someone maybe implemented a captcha to defeat these bastards?

I'll post lots of stuff talking to Pure Data in the near future.

O.K. There's been a lot of questions about ghosting and blurs and such. I stole this technique from someone in the Processing world, Processing works a little different, so GEM has to be in single Buffer Mode. This can be done in double buffer too... but I may not have the time to figure that one out just yet.

There seems to be a lot of talk going on about DIY hardware recently - arduino, sensors, and the like. Does anyone else think this warrants the creation of another forum topic?

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the data I get from my arduino. I am sending values as ASCII strings to [comport]. I cannot figure out why it is so difficult to convert them back to usable floats. What I get out of [comport] is a string of ascii characters(represented by two-digit numbers), followed by a carriage return(13) and a linefeed(10). I could build a sorting machine to get just the usefull stuff, convert ascii to symbols, the to floats. However, I would still have to deal with recombining the strings. This seems like something that should "just work." any suggestions?

I should mention, I am open to using other data types on the arduino end; octal, hex, binary, whatever.

Tomorrow is my last day of cooking professionally. I've been in the foodservice industry since I was 14, that is 13 years. I start a new job on Wednesday. For the foreseeable future I'll be designing "interactives" for museums, visitor's centers and the like. Here's the good part: Pd got me the job, or at least helped. Thanks to my interest in Pd, and the help of y'all over the years, I was able to WOW my new associates sufficiently for them to take a chance on me. A large part of my new job will be prototyping multimedia-based exhibits with Pd and arduino.

Now, the interesting part...
Did Pd get you a job? Do YOU use Pd at work? Let's hear it folks.

look out, Pd is now subculture mainstream.
