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 :/

@woland Not me who asked the question originally, but today i picked up the latest Powerdesk från matrox, and NO - i to dont have the option open in Rosetta.

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

Thanks everyone for your enriching inputs. For now, I ended up with a no name one directional Dispaly Port DP 1.4 M to HDMI 2.1 F, 8K, similar to this: https://arwall.co/products/8k-...

@ian thanks! Just uploaded to the add ons sections

Hi everyone,

I've been struggling to receive a synchronised series of byte data on my serial port (sent by an arduino).

The arduino sends a header of 255, followed by four bytes which I need to read in Isadora. 

the problem is that I can't figure out how to get the "Serial In Watcher - Binary" to wait for the header and then output the following four bytes in the right order.

my actor looks like this (note that the 255 is in the correct place sent out on value1, but this isn't always the case as it keeps jumping around to the other value outputs): 

and the settings look like this:

(note that none of my data values will be 255, I've reserved this for the header)

I'm guessing that Value1 needs to wait until it sees 255, but can't figure out how to do this in the documentation.

any help appreciated!

@woland

Hmmm its not a mac, but a Lenovo, but I could try. As fasr as I remember, there is only one external display. 

@pauliedazzle you’re very welcome, glad it helped. Have a good one 👍

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.

@jsegal99 Hello, I use in Izzy their chinese (and very god) competitors nanlite Pavotube 30 X 4 feet long. They can be used as RGBWW as a single pixel, as 4 pixels or 8 pixels in 8 or 16 bit dmx (with Enttec DMX PRO MKII vie USB serial). And also work with Artnet send in Isadora via the fantastic Enttec ODE MKIII. Works like a charm ! Nanlite

Actually I want to control arduino using leap but I think my leap is unable to send signals through the Processing software.

I am using Processing 4.3 and when I download the leap libraries, few basic builtin libraries are installed with it but I am not even able to run those examples and I have no idea why because my leap motion controller works fine as I can play the widgets (downloaded from Leap motion official website) and even the gemini tracking software detects my hand.

@danielpineiro

if the button 'Reunir ventanas' doesn't show up, this usually means that no external output device is recognised. But as you described that there was an output in the projector, this wouldn't be the case but unusual strange.

Under the Tab 'Alineacion' / 'Arrangement', you can see how many displays are recognized, how they are aligned or if they are mirrored.

The Native Instruments Controller Editor App which allows for customization of the controllers in MIDI mode

 To me this implies that the device might have multiple modes and that the right one needs to be selected or that it's possible that some setting needs to be changed for, or configuration needs to be done to, the device via its proprietary software to set it up for use as a MIDI Controller. Is there nothing in the device's manual about how to use it as a MIDI Controller?

@woland that's great information to have on hand. Thank you so much!

Now my Pi Pico sends these 5 values:
#<Space>Button1<LF>
#<Space>Button2<LF>
#<Space>Button3<LF>
#<Space>Button4<LF>

#<Space>Zoom:695<LF>
#<Space>Zoom:726<LF>
#<Space>Zoom:881<LF>
how can I make this 5 individual values visible in the Serial In Watcher?

Can I use the. ball with other software

Yes. ODD Ball is a MIDI bluetooth device and is compatible with any DAW software. Just simply connect to the ball via MIDI and you will be able to use it for professional music production.

@nic Both audio and video or you need only video ?

I made a user actor that allows the user to feather the edges of any Izzymap shape.

This is great for projection-mapping on organic shapes, when you don't want a sharp edge.

In order for the actor to work you need to setup a virtual stage first. Please read the comments inside of the user actor for instructions.

The technique is based on @DusX 's technique described in this thread: https://community.troikatronix...

The plus version also have bypasses for each color channel. The lite-version is a tiny bit easier on the cpu as it doesn't allow for fading, only bypassing.

Neat! We'd love it if you could upload this to the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page (if you haven't already) so it's easier to find for future users (eventually posts get pushed down farther and farther by new posts and cool builds like this get buried, so we made a special place for sharing tools like this).

Best wishes,

@jandraka Thank you so much! I'll give this a go today and report back. Maybe not having the return has been the culprit.
