@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.

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.

@davidcoll

I've got some things that I've made that should get you there (might have mentions of things that aren't specific to your use-case, like the last line of the Comment actor in the bottom right of the screenshot that mentions NDI):

@woland
Oh!!! So Great !!!
Didn't knew this Show-Hide Control actor !
Thank you !! :)

@citizenjoe

That could be a nice approach. Each layer object having a blur setting. I think I can understand how that might work.

@fred

Hello, a very good and free solution for me is node-red. It runs on any platform, including Raspberry Pi, you can easely make an interface running on any navigator and it use perfectly OSC on a nodal, javascript and json ready platform.

Have a look,

@wjmackwood

If you follow the instructions on pg 90 of the manual, you'll see that you can use the CueMix FX software to create groups of the individual channels - which you can match to the channels you're outputting from Isadora - which you can then control using the CueMix FX software OR the Master Volume knob on the MOTU.
That would solve your problem of outputting too high a level to the speaker, as you can then use the Master Volume knob on the MOTU (or the CueMix FX software) to control the master volume of your chosen channels. You can then refine the levels in Isadora, and not have to worry about setting the level of the sound player actor. Which you should not have to do anyhow, as there ought to be an overall level control from the Mac to the MOTU. As @JJHP3 suggests, not having control over volume is most unusual.

@shahaf if you go down the python route go pro have a pretty good SDK that is well documented and has some examples for low latency streaming over wifi.

Here is the SDK: https://github.com/gopro/OpenG...
