I have to deliver the project by the end of June. Running Beta is one thing, have it running on a standard (latest) version is another.
that's what i meant by included.
Hi,
To experiment with data and movement I mostly use smartphones, there are a lot of sensors in them and if you use an app like zigsim you can send all the data to the computer using OSC data.
For example I connected my smartphone to one arm and the smartphone of the performer to the other arm and than used the data in isadora.
Then after experimenting, you know what kind of data you would need and than you can look for that specific sensor.
For example if you find out acceleration is the most interesting one. you can use an acceleration sensor, connect it to an arduino and send that data to isadora. I'm currently using ESP32 boards and send OSC data over the network. Its not a lot of programming you just read the data from the sensor and send it over the network using OSC.
dear all,
for a live indoor performance on stage i am looking for a small, lightweight (+- 100 gram) FPV drone with guarded or even caged propellers, of which the live image can be seen by the pilot (on stage) in goggles as well as received in a way that it can be fed into isadora - at best as a clean feed without the control overlays and with as little latency as possible - and processed and projected live on stage.
i've already done a bit of research on this and it looks like it might be possible. but before i dive deeper, i want to ask the amazing swarm intelligence of the isadora community if they have any concrete experience with this. i'm grateful for any advice or hint!
best

@dbini 200% agree on the "depends on what you want to do with them". I'm assuming these also have built-in macros in the various personalities, which would indeed make triggering effects a breeze.

Hiya Mark, it was the local circus school - Tähtisirkus - their older group end of term show, so 9 performers aged between 15 and 22. It was directed by Kat & Jared. I introduced Jared to Isadora back in 2019 when they were part of Oulu Dance Hack, and then helped them make a show called Shapes Of Water a couple of years ago, using Izzy to run everything from one trigger at the top of the show (various scenes, 2 projectors, DMX and sound)
Jared spent a lot of time programming the tech for this show. The venue is pretty limited when it comes to lighting, so he added 8 LED tubes that were were mounted on stands or manipulated by the performers.

I saw a circus show at the weekend
@dbini Sounds right up my street: what was the show, John?
Contrary to popular opinion, i would suggest that it depends what you want to do with them. I saw a circus show at the weekend where the lighting tech had used Isadora to trigger lots of the onboard effects within LED tubes (I don't think they were Astera, probably they were Godox).
Everything was timed perfectly with the music (Isadora triggering Ableton to play tracks) and looked great.
Does your wireless transmitter connect via serial and function with DMX like the Enttec Pro? If so, look here: https://troikatronix.com/add-o... Or does it use Artnet? (https://troikatronix.com/add-o...)
Hey!
I would also route this type of traffic to something like a lighting desk, in my case I have ETCNomad running in the background that I just activate an scene with OSC / MIDI triggers that then will control the light source for me.
If you want to sent DMX thru Isadora, you totally can! Just let us know what your preference is and we can give you some pointers in the right direction.
@jsegal99 Hi, I used to own some sets very much like this (Octostrip). My background is in both lighting and video ranging from large to intimate events. I dont think I would consider running these using Isadora alone, but rather use pixelmapping software like Madmapper or GrandMa2 desk or Resolume or the like. Especially when using more extended DMX personalities. Isadora could definitely send the triggers, it’s brilliant at all sorts of calculations and dataflow. The DMX part is there, its a great add-on but I don’t consider it to be more involved production ready, very much the same as Qlab.
But maybe thats just my workflow, I’d be very interested to learn from anyone else on here how they’d make it work. 🙂
Oh, and one other thing... a warning that tells you if you've already imported that file (or something with the same name) it might help when working fast on big shows to not have too many duplicate copies of media...
Thanks,
Cam.
