trying my hands on pure-data after years of not doing any visual programming type of work.
last i've seen of it urs of gaudiLabs (et al.) were using it as a serial controller for the openSeq project
as arduino Serial and OSC are two of my main outputs for the pcbgreycode project, im looking into it as a data viz and parse platform, for now.
install PD
i tried a few flavors of PD [pure-data], and settled on purr-data.
it installs nicely on my archLinux machine and comes built in withe the extensions i need.
problem is, a lot of the info is old, many broken links.
goal: serial>parse char input to integers>make list>find unique
# good to clean sys of bad installs # sudo apt --fix-broken install sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dr-graef/pd-l2ork.bionic sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dr-graef/pure-lang.bionic sudo apt install purr-data
learn PD
when i started visual programming (using max/msp/jitter) back in the days one of the best docs i had was the thesaurus supplied with the documentation. one for PD exists and i hope its not too outdated
- Getting Arduino data into pd - forum question
- Arduino_Pd-vanilla abstraction to handle Serial print/write comm
- arduino_for_pd_ers.pdf - nice detailed guide about serial arduino and pd. comes with code . this is the original
