 Hi there Lois,

You need a so-called SPI Controller to control Pixel strips like that; depending on your chipset you will need a converter that can basically convert DMX (or sACN) to SPI.

A few examples of those controllers;

The ingredients that you need;

A DMX to SPI ControllerA beefy power supply! (You need 60mA for every single pixel, 5v, WS2813 preferred since they won't die when a pixel is broken)A way to connect all the grounds together

More information about the subject can be found here;

And this great article of Adafruit regarding Neopixels

@dusx @Woland  Thanks!  Yes, I also think the way of transmit the OSC data is a little weird, but looks that works with other software as Blender.

I´ll contact with the developer to see if there is a way of get the data properly from 51 channels.

Best regards!

@woland

Hi Woland! Today i had checked it on my MacBook Air instead the iMac, and it worked well - also on other ports.

Looks like there are network or installation problam on my iMac :-(

Now i have to check how to use the Trackball values to change translations...

thanks for your help, 

Tom

@mark Thanks!

@woland

aha. I remember seeing this before I needed it, thanks for reminding me! 

@ncwpg

No additional drivers should be required. The OpenNI actors include the required components. Isadora must be run in Rosetta Mode, and the installation instructions for the plugins must be followed. I don't have a similar machine to you, but all works as expected on my M1 mac mini, and my Intel mac mini.

@dylan_law1

Are both PCs?
If so, have you run ipconfig in Command Prompt to see the addresses of your network cards?
Sometimes Isadora can in rare cases report the wrong IP if your system has multiple network interfaces.

I always install Isadora on both machines, as I find it easier to debug/test communications between Isadora instances. Once Isadora to Isadora is ironed out, is easy enough to get the other tool seeing the data.

i'd be keen to beta test the Pythoner plugin on my 2013 mbp running macos sierra

 Feel free to send in a ticket using the link in my signature. It'd be the easiest way to send keystrokes using Isadora.

@juriaan

Got it. Thanks.

From there on out I would avoid WDMX as the plague, try to use cable as much as possible, if that is not possible then use this product since it is the most solid for this type of environment.

Don't disagree completely and I would definitely avoid all of the rip-off brands, but this one is solid. It's what's built into the newest ETC lighting fixtures:

After yesterdays announcement from Ultraleap of the new Leap Motion 2 and forthcoming support once again (due in July I believe), it would seem there is a new path forward.

 Yes, it's very exciting. I can't confirm yet whether or not we'll support the Leap Motion 2, but I sincerely hope we have the time to add this feature.

@Armando OH MY GOD !!!! I tried to connect a broadcaster to skeleton output property of the rokokko actor and putting a listener in data mode and it works ! It is just that listener type must t be set on data. when like that its value output becomes "skeleton" if attached to a skeleton decoder. The only confusing part is that the broadcaster value input doesn't show data not skeleton but just three dashes ! It works !!!!

Link to video

Wow Pamela Z in the house! Definitely trying to get tickets for the concert at MoMA now. I'm happy to provide any ground support if you need, I'm based in NYC just send me a DM.

Best,
Carlos

"I think most applications only respond to keystrokes when they have the keyboard focus."

i hear you, but the one contrary example is the excellent Syphon Recorder which hears the Alt-R-Cmd calling above the clamour of all the other software. Which is seriously useful...

@woland Thanks Woland. Very good to know. I am doing also some more user actors for lower thirds and other zoom ISO commands. I'll put all of them in the add-ons page now that Ryan has solved my login issues. Excitying times for Isadora users ahead !!!

@dusx @nic 

Hi! I think that you need a special network cable to connect directly two computers, called a crossover cable.

I agree that the easy way is to put a router between the two computes and use a normal ethernet cable.

Best regards!

@DusX Want to link your Kinect2Share in case it might be useful?

 Sure, Kinect2share runs on Windows, but can share the Kinect video via NDI and Skeleton tracking via OSC, so it is perfect for a 2 computer setup between two PCs, or a PC and a Mac.

Following the tutorial file, this seems to be working with a basic miniparled :)

You're all set then?

Best wishes,

Woland

just did a install of gphoto2 (on OSX)

 Right, I was investigating on Windows, and the install of gphoto2 is a lot messier on Windows :/

Yes Correct. If I only quit Isadora and then relaunch it the MIDI selection is exactly how I left it.
