Re: [PD] wiimote with ir sensor bar

2007-10-29 Thread Chuckk Hubbard
I thought I read that the ir-leds are angled slightly outward.  Perhaps the
amount of light detected from each is affected by the angle, which could be
used to solidify the position?

 yes, that is possible. the sensor bar is nothing else but two groups of

 a lighter (or up to four) instead. the wiimote just sends you the
 coordinates of the reference points' (ir-led, lighter, whatever)

 no, that is not quite possible with the sensors, that wiimote is
 equipped with. it has 3 accelerometers (x, y and z), but it is very
 difficult (probably impossible) to calculate a position out of this
 data. it would be possible to calculate the position with the data from
 the ir-camera, but then you would need at least 3 reference points and
 they would have to be always visible for the cam. since the angle is
 quite narrow, it is probably not too suitable for position tracking.

[PD] possible gem bug?

2007-10-29 Thread Oded Ben-Tal
hi,

I'm using the video capture from the builtin camera on a 
MacBookPro. when I try to change colorspace to rgb (either by sending 
colorspace message to [pix_video] or by converting the image with 
[pix_rgba] the pictures turns very blue. This doens't happen when I use 
[pix_yuv].
Is this a feature or a bug?

Re: [PD] wiimote with ir sensor bar

2007-10-29 Thread Chris McCormick
Hi,

Well maybe you could fill a room with ir LEDs so that the Wiimote
always has some LEDs in it's view, and then make each LED flash with
a unique pattern. That way you could read the pattern being flashed by
each LED to know which LED(s) the Wiimote is pointing at, and determine
it's position in space from the positions of the LEDs in it's view.

Best,

Chris.

[PD] patch for dollar sign fix in pd-extended?

2007-10-29 Thread Rich E
I was wondering if there is a way to get Miller's fixes for the dollar sign
variables into the pd-extended build.  I have some patches that use sends
like $1.$2-volume, which works fine in pd v.40, but not in .39.

I'd like to keep using pd-extended, Hans has done an excellent job with all
the extra externals and making it look nice.

Alternatively, I could try to add the extra features I like within
pd-extended to Miller's pd.  I have done this with the [libdir] object,
which seems to be working, but the fonts are still ugly.  Is there an easy
way to get pd-extended fonts into the miller-pd?

yeah, i thought about that as well, but i am not sure how difficult it
would be to sync the leds and the wiimote. every small jitter would give
absolutely useless results and if you really want to make it jitter
proof, then it's probably very slow... but it would definitely be nice
to have some position tracking based on wiimote.

It's just a matter of taking IOhannes' patch (I believe Miller used

Actually i misinterpreted a post on pdmtl-abs list merely saying that
the new version of pix_film outputs the frame rate. 
I thought pix_movie's third outlet was it, actually it is just outlet
number 2 that packs the number of frames, width , height and framerate. 

I hoped that there was an instanteneous framerate outlet, which it is
not.

[PD] Bbang ~ Max/Pd users group in Brussels

2007-10-29 Thread Andrew Brouse
Dear Pure Data and Max programmers,

A new users group is being set up in Brussels for those interested in  
Max and Pd.

Yves Bernard of iMAL has kindly set up a mailing list to further this  
end, more info is here:
http://www.imal.org/mailman/listinfo/bbang

Anyone is welcome to subscribe and those interested in participating  
in this group are highly encouraged to do so.
Pd and Max enthusiasts from within the surrounding high-speed rail  
neighbourhood are especially welcome.

We are looking towards planning a first meeting sometime before the  
end of this year with following meetings happening approximately  
monthly.

best regards,

 Does anyone have an idea about how to do this? Is there any other
