Hi Craig,

Could you sent us an technical support ticket? Our support team will likely need additional information from you to get to the bottom of this.

Hi,

Here is a document that walks through the process of using the Arduino Firmata add-on:

https://community.troikatronix...

It is the quickest way to prototype a simple sensor in Isadora with an Arduino board.

Best Wishes,

Russell

Ive just purchased an arduino and a PIR sensor but I am having trouble getting it to trigger anything in isadora. I haven't used Arduino before.

What I want to achieve:

I want to use the PIR (Passive Infrered Sensor) to capture a stage take a picture when movement is detected.

What is working:

I have successfully (with the thanks to Claude) uploaded a sketch to the Arduiono IDE. The serial monitor in the IDE correctly outputs the 1's a 0's when detecting movement. I have closed down the IDE. before opening Isadora. The TX led on the Arduino board also flashes when triggered by the PIR. SO I feel confident this part of it is working?

I have opened the serial port set up dialogue box. set the port to 1, left the baud to 9600 and left everything else as is.

I have tried using both the serial in watcher - binary & text. Ive also tried to the best of my ability, the Arduino Firmata actor with a the recommended sketch and have looked at some of the documentation but it seems like some of this is quite old and the firmata test applications are no longer on git hub.

Nothing seems to work. I was under the impression. that arduino was pretty straight forward.

Hi, It seems after my last OS update Mac 27.2 my HASP key doesn't work anymore. Not even a red light lighting. 

Under my Macs system information USB shows (USB 3.1 bus, HASP HL 3.25)

I downloaded from Troikatronix website a recent version of USB Key Software then reinstalled it and rebooted. Still not working.

Google said to use a web browser to see if the services are running. (http://localhost:1947). and it should find the page, but it doesn't. I also don't see it in the MAC Activity Monitor List.

One note this is the older version of the key, sort of a Cobalt blue. Worked before the OS update though.

Thanks

Dear Mark,

On behalf of Red Isadora Latina, thank you. Thank you for your commitment, your dedication and, above all, for the legacy you are leaving. Isadora is much more than a piece of software: it is an important cultural legacy, one that has changed the way many of us create, teach and think about performance and technology. Here in Latin America, that impact is felt every day in classrooms, theatres, galleries and independent studios. We are very glad to know you will remain close to the project as an advisor.

To the whole TroikaTronix GmbH team: congratulations, and our very best wishes. Though you are far from a new team, having looked after Isadora and its community for years, taking on this continuity is a great responsibility and a great challenge. You have our trust and our support.

For 15 years, Red Isadora Latina has walked alongside TroikaTronix and the development of the software, building community, training new users and bringing Isadora to more artists and educators across the region. We will keep doing so. We are excited to see where Isadora goes next, and we would be glad to be part of that vision. Whatever you need from us, we are here to help and to keep growing Isadora together.

With gratitude and best wishes,

Maximiliano Wille Director, Red Isadora Latina Buenos Aires, Argentina

@mark Congratulations and thank you for what you have created. Many years of music making and creativity to you on your new path. We are so lucky you created Isadora and nurtured it into what it is today. You've inspired a huge community!  

@woland

i do this all the time.... : )

Mark: Bravo for a great product and bravo for giving Isadora a future! Enjoy another stage of your life and thanks!

Definitely one of the easiest ways to incorporate feedback in Isadora.

This is good news. It is a great relief to learn that Isadora’s continuity will be inherited in the development team already so closely invested in the software and community. 

It has been a concern for some time, not knowing if there was a future for the software beyond Mark Coniglio’s brilliance. With the announcement including mention of a new programmer it appears to be a generational hump, like a mid-week gear shift. An announcement that is comforting for those of us with so many years invested in wrangling Isadora and climbing its learning curve peaks. All while resisting the strong pull of other more popular and more ubiquitous software titles.

I can imagine there might be some new priorities and efficiencies to keep the operation viable but, as others have suggested, Isadora is in an exciting place right now. And there is plenty of room for development (like the 3D actors).😉

Time and tide does not wait for anyone. Thank you Mark Coniglio for sharing and enabling artists who are the voice of freedom, who are trailblazers of change, harbingers of love.

May creativity flow through you and your endeavours.

With Sincere gratitude and best wishes

Russell
