@jfg

I have two small suggestions for you.

First is @DusX updated  python tools, in the add-ons here. Like you I couldn't understand the first video, but this did help me get started.

And the other thing which has really helped me with Python is using AI. Specifically Claude Sonnet. I like that model particularly because it is good at explaining, which helps me to learn the process. 

When I'm starting a chat I:

1. ask it to add detailed comments to every line of code explaining what it does in plain English (am sure it's equally capable in other languages!).
2. ask it for a "Step-by-step environment setup guide," including how to install the necessary libraries for my OS.

I just did this for Windows, and Claude Sonnet gave me verbose instructions. Including how and where to install all the necessary libraries, etc. I don't have time to try that all out right now, but will certainly give it a go later.

Meanwhile maybe this is useful...

I’d like to use Ultralytics’ people tracking in Isadora (https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/track#tracktrack). However, I’m quickly reaching my limits, as I have absolutely no idea what the Python code should look like or what if I need to install more than "yolo26n.pt". Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to understand the video ‘Getting started with Python". I’ve managed to create a Python actor with YOLO, thanks to Mark’s explanations in the *4.5 vst demo" patch, but what do I do next?

Can anyone help me or tell me where I can find help without having to spend months becoming fully proficient in Python?

Many thanks

Best regards

Goodness me...

What happens if you connect the projectors to your MBP rather than the Mac Studio? Same result? 

@mark_m Thanks to you and @woland. 

I tried an emulator and still dropped connection.

It’s really bizarre. Maybe the projector is just defective. Honestly, it’s a new company that came out with this great line of 8000 lumen laser projectors that are pretty affordable, but they’re not vetted, so who knows.

Because the crazy thing is that I just used my viewsonics (4 of them) in a show with a month long run with zero issues. So, it appears that the viewsonic is dropping, but it’s only happened with working in tandem with the Springtree. 

They’re a small company and don’t have the usual help line, but I’ve written to them and maybe they can help me.

I’m at a total loss. 

For the record my USB-C dongels are Anker. If you have suggestions for more reliable models. I’ll try anything at this point.

Thanks for responding to an off-Isadora topic.

@armando Hello Armando, thank you so much for your detailed reply. I am away on summer vacation but as soon as I’m back with Isadora and my ambisonic mic I’ll be pouring over your advice and I’ll let you know how things are progressing. Best wishes Simon

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for the demo patch. It works just great.

@michel

Late thanks for that: it opened just fine in the new version of TouchOSC and I've been poking about a bit, understanding how you made it. When we start work on the show again in a few weeks what you sent will be very, very useful! Thank you!!!

We've just uploaded an example file that allows you to follow along with the Isadora 4.5 Introduction video.
