[PD] running Pd with a timer for an installation?
Hi All, I'm planning on using Pd for an installation in Melbourne in a couple of weeks. It's running fine, Pduino working, sensors working. I'm just wondering is there is a object (or series) of objects I can use to power down the patch, or even kill Pd, at a designated time. The installation will run into the night for a week, I'll be there to start it up each night but not to shut it down. I'm probably running on OSX, windows may be an option. A sleep or shutdown timer for the OS would be very useful too, seems odd these are not standard. Any suggestions?

Re: [PD] [PD-announce] pd 0.43-3 released
yes, now it makes more sense. that could be very sexy, as besides all the interesting ideas, it would be possible to have a only-graphical version of Pd running, for people who are only users. it might not be very practical for cases where canvases have more than a certain number of scalars (I have some with a couple thousands), but very nice for other issues. João When you create an abstraction, you basically save a patch that is a template for all instances of the abstraction which you will create later. [f $1] gets filled in with the first arg, [symbol $2] with the second arg, and so on. With my idea, you create a scalar that has an associated canvas (similar to an abstraction), and that canvas has access to the field values for that scalar. Example: let's say you have [struct foo float y symbol blah canvas bar], and have a subpatch [pd bar] that is a template for the field bar which is just a canvas. So when you create a scalar foo, that scalar has a y variable-- which is a float; a blah variable-- which is a symbol; and a bar variable-- which is a canvas. Imagine a hypothetical object inside that scalar's canvas called [getmy y], and when you bang it you get the y value associated with _this_ scalar. Now imagine this inside bar: [getmy y] | [mtof] | [osc~] | [catch~ bus] Now if you instantiate 16 scalars, each one of them has an associated oscillator that gets its pitch from that scalar's y value. In other words, each scalar also has a canvas that holds within it the means to produce sound from the y value that you see. I'm just assuming here that [getmy] would work like the outlet of [struct]-- that is, it sends out a message when the y value for that scalar is updated. (Or alternatively when it is banged.) Better yet, imagine using foo as the template for another struct as in the following: [struct container float x float y array z foo] Now you can create/destroy voices in an oscbank using [setsize]! Of course I'm skipping over lots of details, like you'd still have to rebuild the dsp graph, and how loadbang would or woudn't work when you instantiate a scalar with a canvas field, etc., etc. Hopefully some of that makes sense. -Jonathan João -- Friedenstr. 58 10249 Berlin (Deutschland) Tel +49 30 42020091 | Mob +49 162 6843570 Studio +49 30 69509190 jmmmp...@googlemail.com | skype: jmmmpjmmmp ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] running Pd with a timer for an installation?
- You kill PD from inside at a chosen time (pd quit;) - You shutdown your mac at that time, after having killed PD, and restart your mac at a given time (OSX preferences) - You launch an application at restart of your mac (OSX Preferences / accounts, this application is either compiled with applescript or with automator and does what you want, in this case run your patch, I guess) this will take a little time to adjust, but works fine !

Re: [PD] running Pd with a timer for an installation?
Thanks for all the great answers. So I found sleep/shut down scheduler in the Energy Saver menu of OSX System Preferences. If need be I should be able to just use that. However if I want to kill Pd first is [realtime] the best object to use for a scheduled event (in this case quitting Pd) like this? I think I will stick with just powering down at the end of the night I will start it up manually, too many things could fail if I try and automate running the patch, although Automator looks possibly useful too.

What I sometimes do is (using a desktop computer): Set the computer's BIOS power setting to 'always on' so that the computer starts up as soon as it gets power. Then set up the necessary startup scripts to start your patch automatically when the computer is switched on. Use a simple household timer to switch the power of the computer on and off. (this may be a bad idea when there is a risk that your patch is writing to disk heavily while the computer gets switched off...

Try playing with the parameters and let me know what you think ;) Lorenzo. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list pitch_shift_reverb-2.pd Description: Binary data ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] running Pd with a timer for an installation?
I strongly recommend keeping the machine running 24/7 unless power to the computer is being pulled daily. I've had OSX boxes that ran for years running GEM patches that pegged every CPU/GPU/ASIC in the box. The majority of issues came from restarting the computer after power was cut for some reason. Shutting down peripherals like screens and speakers is fine, but OSX and Linux are designed for maximum uptime and run best that way. I had tons of problems with WinXP running for longer than a week or two. On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 4:44 AM, Richie Cyngler glitch...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for all the great answers. So I found sleep/shut down scheduler in the Energy Saver menu of OSX System Preferences. If need be I should be able to just use that. However if I want to kill Pd first is [realtime] the best object to use for a scheduled event (in this case quitting Pd) like this? I think I will stick with just powering down at the end of the night I will start it up manually, too many things could fail if I try and automate running the patch, although Automator looks possibly useful too.

Hi All, I'm planning on using Pd for an installation in Melbourne in a couple of weeks. It's running fine, Pduino working, sensors working. I'm just wondering is there is a object (or series) of objects I can use to power down the patch, or even kill Pd, at a designated time. The installation will run into the night for a week, I'll be there to start it up each night but not to shut it down. I'm probably running on OSX, windows may be an option. A sleep or shutdown timer for the OS would be very useful too, seems odd these are not standard. Any suggestions?

Re: [PD] Reading a specific image from [pix_buffer] and saving it using [pix_write]
Hi, I try to do the similar thing, capturing from pix_video, saving a specific frame of [pix_buffer] to jpg files. However, the color space and the resolution of saved jpg file is changed. Even saving tiff is the same result. I know one of the ways is converting Gemlist from YUV to RGBA using [pix_rgba] before inputing [pix_buffer_write], but it is told CPU-consumptive. So, is there any solutions to save YUV data in pix_buffer directly to jpg file with keeping colorspace and resolution. I am using Mac OS 10.7.4 and pd-extended 0.42.5. Thanks in progress.

I've attached the updated patch. After choosing a directory to save the files all of the shots will be saved as jpgs. I noticed some weird behaviour when pressing the Record (big red) button. The save message is trying to save from a buffer slot that isn't yet filled. I thought it was a race condition, so added a [t b b] but that didn't solve it. I don't know what the exact problem is, but the workdaround that I used seems to work Antonio On 20 March 2012 12:06, IOhannes m zmoelnig zmoel...@iem.at wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 2012-03-20 12:21, Antonio Roberts wrote: I've been attempting to build on the stop-motion animation patch that guido built some time ago (attached). I want to output each new frame to an image but there's one problem: [pix_write] reads what is currently in the frame buffer, which could be one of the old pictures. Is there any way to make it read from a specific point in the frame buffer? a framebuffer in openGL- and Gem-land usually means a canvas where you draw to. [gemwindow] is a typical framebuffer, [gemframebuffer] (what's that name..?) as well. [pix_write] will indeed read from this framebuffer. you can specify where in the framebuffer it reads via the offset dimension parameters. [pix_buffer], while being a buffer that holds frames, is NOT a framebuffer in this parlance. you can use the [save foo.jpg 42( message to save a pix from the [pix_buffer] to the disk. the last argument (42 in this case) denotes the slot to read the image from. fgasdr IOhannes -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9oct4ACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvSdSQCgpS3lASLj8qZ5Y2vI2xX2FFJU tYIAoKEx3CZRE++bKPOUakALFUxZIyb7 =G992 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- anto...@hellocatfood.com http://www.hellocatfood.com ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list -- -- __/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/ Seiichiro Matsumura s...@low-tech-ism.com http://low-tech-ism.com/ __/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/ pixbuffer_savetest.pd Description: Binary data ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
