That is what I do. I use JunXion to track camera input and send data over to Isadora via MIDI or OSC.

JunXion is pretty effecient and easy to set up. And has better tracking capabilities I think.

I prepare a workshop in Paris with example in Arduino, Live, Processing and Unity. I am writing a manual in French but I will translate it in English for the other half of the world… :-)

– communication Isadora/Arduino though Serial, OSC and DMX

– communication Isadora/Live through soundflower and midi

– communication Isadora/processing through OSC and Syphon

– communication Isadora/Unity though OSC and Syphon

French version will be ready for november 15

English first translation december 15, earlier if I found english speaking help…

All the best,

Yes, well, the problem with serial communications is that there is no standard at all. To be able to handle nearly anything, the interface is necessarily complex. That's really the first problem.

Take a look at [this serial protocol document](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB0QFjAAahUKEwjs8P-nuvnIAhXMOz4KHXhTC-o&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.basecamelectronics.com%2Ffiles%2FSimpleBGC_2_4_Serial_Protocol_Specification.pdf&usg=AFQjCNH2bLDfYxH6PQFCFzj8ectmU_ibzQ) I found on the web. The parsing system is designed to allow you to work with something as complex as what is specified here. But even reading the document, for someone who is not a programmer, is pretty difficult.

Probably a set of clear examples for the most common situations – the primary one being receiving data from Arduino – would go a long way to solving this problem.

You could help us by perhaps sharing some examples of data streams you had a difficult time figuring out how to parse. If you have that information handy, that would be most helpful

In any case, @Primaldivine is working on a major update to the documentation now. I will see what we can do before v2.2 in late December.

Best Wishes,

(@DusX, could you ensure this isssue is recorded on our feature request list? Thanks)

But serial communication is not easy too…

I can write you personally about the "perfect storm" of things that came together on that particular day – it was more than Izzy and v2.1. 

But with regard to the Point List, all I can say is "Oops." I have a handful of plugins that are for my private artwork, and normally they are all automatically deleted when I build the installer. The Point List actor relates to one of those private plugins. It should have been deleted too. (There was another one noticed by @Nick above.)

I'll ensure it is deleted from the build and re--upload the installer.

Best Wishes,

Mark

But yes, its much easier to to deal with now, and opens up more CPU time.

I think your idea of being able to select from the group is a good one, and relatively easy implement. We'll add it to the list of requested features, and see if we can get that into v2.2 which will arrive by the end of December.

Best,

Mark

Many thanks.

Yes, use the Virtual Stage. It will run about a  thousand times faster than the 3D Renderer because everything stays on the graphics card.

Best Wishes,

Mark
