Required start date: September 2011

Sound and Physical Interaction (SOPI) research group at the Department of 
Media, Aalto University School of Art and Design, offers two studentships for 
doctoral research, for full-time doctoral studies, beginning in September 2011. 
SOPI research group provides funding for up to 2 years, with a 1 year extension 
available after evaluation.

Successful applicants will pursue research in SOPI research group and support a 
research project on developing computational models for enactive engagement of 
users in a participatory interactive art context. We encourage graduate 
students to consider applications with research project proposals, focusing on 
the notion of participation, embodiment and human-human interaction in sound 
related activities within the framework of enaction.

Successful applicants will begin their doctoral studies at the Department of 
Media and they will be expected to complete their thesis within 3 years. As 
part of the scholarship, successful applicants will also be responsible for 
some teaching in the Department of Media.

Requirements –
– Master’s degree in Sound / Music Technology or New Media studies, or any 
other relevant discipline.
– Knowledge of digital sound synthesis methods  techniques and programming 
(e.g. Pure Data, C, C++, Objective-C).

Duration and Salary –
2 years full time ( with provision for a 1 year extension after evaluation). 
Salary will be based on the new salary system of Finnish universities ( approx. 
2400€ / month pre-tax).

Interested candidates should e-mail their application, including a CV, a short 
statement (up to 1500 words) of their research interests, explaining the 
intended objectives and how the proposed research fits within the scope of SOPI 
research group, and the contact information of 2 referees to Koray Tahiroğlu 
(koray.tahiro...@aalto.fi). Applications must be sent by Sunday, 10th July 
2011. Online interviews will be held during the week 28 (11-17 July).

Re: [PD] pduino test patch: old analog/digital controls

2011-06-13 Thread matteo sisti sette
Hi,

I bring this up again after some further testing:

I:
 In the Pduino test patch (arduino-test.pd) there is a subpatch called old 
 analog/digital controls.
 ...
 analogIns X Y (where X is the analog pin to enable/disable and Y is either 
 0 or 1).

Hans-Christoph Steiner:

 That's the original way of controlling the analog inputs. It just controls
 whether the Arduino sends the analog messages.  Its there only for backwards
 compatibility.  Use the non-old messages now.

I:
 What are the non-old messages?
 looking at the arduino-test and arduino-help patches I can't see any
 way of enabling analog inputs

I didn't get any answer but i found out that the message
 pinMode 14 analog worked like
 analogIns 0 1 (being pin 14 the same as A0)

However, actually this works _only_ on older versions of Firmata and
doesn't work with the latest version.

By latest version I mean the StandardFirmata and
StandardFirmata_2_2_for_UNO_0_3 example sketches packed with the
latest version of the Arduino IDE (latest available package for Debian
unstable).

With the latest version, the only way I've found that actually works
to enable analog input pins are the so-called old messages
analogIns npin 1/0


Can anybody please clarify?

Thanks
m.

I was mentioning that before. I had the same problem.

There is another problem with the digital ins 1 and 2. I got myself a
workaround. Unfortunately I don't remember anymore what it was exactly. It
happened when you went from pin 1 or 2 to another one and back. The first
value came out as a 0 instead of the correct version. I think it had to do
with the fact that pins 1-8 should form a 8-bit number but 1+2 are part of
another 8-bit number or something like that.

It happens somewhere in the part of the mapping.

@Ingo and Matteo

I'm also quite interested in having the [arduino] working properly. I
didn't find any bugs recently, though. However, if you provide a
step-by-step guide about how to reproduce a problem, I (and probably
Olsen also) might be able to help, as I know the code inside a bit,
although I'm not the author (as long as the problem exists on the Pd
side and not on the Firmata side). 
Regarding the help and test files, we just improve what needs
improvement. I hear that this is OK with Hans.

@Hans

I wish you guys good luck and a happy baby!

[PD] [PD-announce] NYC Patching Circle this Thursday 6/16, 6-9pm

2011-06-13 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner
We have a regular schedule now, alternating each month between  
Thursday 6-9pm at General Assembly and Sunday 6-9pm at NYC Resistor.  
This Thursday we'll be back at General Assembly hosted by Lee Azzarello.


http://puredata.info/community/NYCPatchingCircle

We spend enough time alone staring at our computers; we are proposing
to work together. So often issues that arise when working can be
solved with a quick two minute discussion that would take hours to
solve alone. We have Dorkbot to see people's work, we have Share where
anyone can play, we have workshops and universities to learn from.
This is a meeting where we all can come to work.

This is an informal gathering of patching and patchers (Pd, Max/MSP/
Jitter, and even , Eyesweb, Labview, etc.). Beginners and
Experienced welcome. Open to everyone, students, the public, etc. Work
on personal projects, professional projects, school projects, ask for
help, help others, or just patch quietly to yourself, in a room full of
other people patching patches and helping other people patch.

Thursday 6/16, 6-9pm
Free!

August 2011* and will include paper sessions, roundtable discussions, 
and creative works presentations.


We are inviting researchers to present studies that address visual 
music's multiple definitions and dimensions, questions around visual 
music aesthetics and meaning, hierarchy and correlation of sound and 
image in this context, and the audience's perception thereof. Artists 
are also invited to propose visual music presentations -- both live and 
fixed. Attendance is required in both cases.
