Unfortunately, I am time poor to create a tutorial atm.

Once you've got more time we'd love it if you could upload it to the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page if you haven't already.

Cool things like this tend to get buried in the forum over time.

Best wishes,

I did a little research and it appears to be possible to develop using the Python bindings provided for the Orbbec SDK, which support connecting to the device over Ethernet, although it would likely be easier to first do some test dev with it connected via USB.

I don't have this device otherwise I might look into making an example. I do hope to do a generic Orbbec over USB example soon though.

@jjhp3 Thank you ~

@deflost

please see my response here. 

@dnichols

Both work well for me. And often it is easier to make .mov files. (if you are using ffmpeg or shutterencoder to transcode to .avi watch that your framerate remains consistent.. there is/was a known bug).
One up side of AVI on windows is that you can have thumbnails in explorer (easily) it seems like a little thing, but really is helpful. 
I use ShutterEncoder to transcode my archive footage to HAP, for me this has worked well.

@woland: Thank you very much. This helps a lot.

I think I just messed up the whole path/to/file things- definitely helps with saving the file in the same directory as the izzy file.

@dusx hello, and super thank you.

the reason for all this is, that onyx is not able to get direct order to jump to a  specific cue via midi or osc. it is simply not possible. but with telnet it is. it does not depend on pc or console, so we will test your script and ask for more support. maybe you can test it for us. because we are verÿ bad in coding.

it would be ok for us to use only one client connection to onyx, because isadora is our main control hub. thx.

Many Isadora users will have developed techniques for isolating a performer from the background of a live video feed.

 @gmk0318 I think these tutorials may be helpful, particularly the Freeze method for motion tracking:

@gmk0318

I replied to your other post, but based on this description, and for the benefit of other people wanting to do the same thing who see this post, I'm going to point you to:

The Alpha Mask Tutorial that we have on our Add-Ons Page: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/tutorial-alpha-mask/This should be helpful if you want to use the body of the performer as an alpha mask rather than having an image follow them around.I believe this or the tutorial mentioned below also has a "video follow spot" Scene near the end that causes a Shapes actor to follow the performer around. Replace the Shapes actor with a Picture Player and then use a Zoomer's 'horz center' and 'vert center' inputs and you should be able to move your .png around in the same way.The Motion Tracking Tutorial that we have on our Add-Ons Page: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/tutorial-basic-motion-tracking/

This change was made to avoid a situation where the range of channels being input dynamically would break many setups. Since changing this input changes the actual number of outputs, there is no way to dynamically connect these outputs if new ones are added, and if the number is made less the connections which were made are lost.
This approach of limiting the dynamic input of parameters that change the Input and Output count of actors was made throughout the software, and helped to address a few reported issues/bugs.

How were you using the chan # outputs?

Perhaps this is a case where a macro might be better suited since you can have different settings in each copy.

maybe I should do a scripting course

 If this is something you are considering, you might look at Python rather than Javascript. When working in Isadora, python will open up many more possibilities, and once you learn one it will make the other much easier.

@ravenetta

Using this ascii chart: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/ASCII-Table.svg

I can see that when you receive a Distance, you are getting the value followed by cm and a carrage return and a line feed. so "\r\n"

You get the same EOL for your errors, so you should be able to use the Serial In Watcher - Text actor with a EOL of 13. You can use this same msg:string={00-FF} to allow all character thru.

@woland

Thank you!
That is the trick of tricks and was just what I wanted!

Cheers

Any suggestions much appreciated 

How about this?

Thanks for the opportunity to work with the new Leap Motion Actor. I really appreciate it. It works flawlessly.

 By the looks of it, it is tracking the palm data location and rotation. If I could make a humble request, the one point I find very useful in the ultraleap SDK is the index next distal point (index fingertip). I think it's a useful point for screen drawing and general motion capture for mapping to all kinds of things. I know that the rotation value is not accessible for the fingertips, but I think the position for the index fingertip would open up all kinds of possibilities.

'extend screen'

 Since you have extend screen set, I assume you have more than one display connected. The second display is likely projector since you are mapping?
You need to change which display the stage is assigned to via the Stage Setup dialog. Once you set the stage to use the second display, you should have your output on the second display and still have access to Isadora on your main display. In this way you can open IzzyMap and make changes live. 

Additionally, IzzyMap has the ability to publish parameters for external modification.. this allows live adjustment via any input you like.. for example you could use the color of a video input to change the rotation of a mapping. You can publish parameters by right-clicking points and selecting to publish them. Then when you close IzzyMap you can adjust these values externally. I don't think this is what you were asking about, but it might be of interest.

@plzhelplol

And regarding your second question;

I use the 'Output' value; the output is either a 0 or a 1 (a number value), if you connect that to a true or false (a boolean value) it causes 0 = false and 1 = true

That way we don't need a Trigger value.

We hear you @Woland - the limited staff is the reason for the rate of progress - no spite - just offering a work around - have a great day!!

My apologies, I was a bit grumpy because I'd been at the office for around 34 hours straight when I read your comment yesterday (and then stayed for another five). Hope you have a great day too :)

Great! thanks for the help.

Is isadora the right software to manage this or should I be using something else?

Isadora is great at being the glue that connects a bunch of things together.
