Re: [PD] Pd, Arduino, and Multiple LED's == Installation?
Blinkm ( http://thingm.com/products/blinkm ) also work well since you control them over i2c thus simplifying wiring, but there more expensive then a standard led. Nils Kyle Klipowicz wrote: Hello Listers~ I'm working on an art gallery installation and I want to use Pd to control some high-powered LED's via an Arduino unit. The breakdown is this: I need to create a series of RGB LED's that will provide accent illumination to the gallery space, and shifts from red to blue over a course of 6 weeks. The program isn't very difficult to write. I've already decided to link it to the system date/time so that the installation can be powered down easily at night. What's tricky is knowing what hardware to use and how to get it together. I am going to want between 25-100 lights at minimum, possibly more. I've looked at a few sites and links already, especially the Arduino site. They have some things related to DMX lights, and this is something I've seen a bit on the list as well. I don't know if this is a good solution or if it is overkill for what I want to do. One piece of hardware that seems promising is the ShiftBrite (http://www.macetech.com/blog/node/54). Does anyone know about this? I know this might be considered off-topic, but I'd really appreciate it if any seasoned veterans could throw me some tips.

Re: [PD] Alternate Controllers
I've been playing with the arduino lots and it makes it really easy to build your own controllers from whatever, light sensors, old joysticks, wiichucks. And it's cheap =). The wiimote-wiichuck combo seems to have some real potential since you can control the equivalent of 10 knobs and 4 buttons with two hands. If you're looking for midi controllers, I'm fond of doepfer, I bought a few pocket control's (16 knobs) 5 years ago and they really can take a beating, they also have a fader version and a rotary version now too, and I believe they sell you just the logic board on it's own for you to wire whatever sort of electrical device to. The monome devices also look pretty entertaining. Nils Mike McGonagle wrote: Hello all, Over the past few weeks, I have been looking at building a controller for myself, but was curious what other sorts of things others are doing with alternate controllers.

Re: [PD] [OT] mini-ITX again (Derek Holzer)
Not sure if the they have a digital out for the audio, but I've often used an optical digital out and an external D/A, which gets ride of the noise completely. I have this problem on my little shuttle box with the builtin audio. I get all sorts of noise unless you use the digital out, I've only tried this with an optical out since then you're guaranteed electrical isolation. Whether this is an option for you or not. Nils Sundstrom Ingo Scherzinger wrote: Two questions: 1) On the VIA, was it noise in the audio path of an external soundcard, or the built-in one? I am planning to use a Delta66 breakout box in my project, hopefully to get around this problem. Unfortunately I did have noise in the external soundcard. Seemed to be PCI Bus related. (BTW the internal card we had lots of clicks but none of the computer noise problems) 2) For the fanless Intel, what kind of extra cooling did you use? We are using a case fan that is blowing onto the cooler with fresh air from outside. Without it the system was overheating and stopped working after a certain amount of time. However, this might depend on the design of the box you are using.

Re: [PD] [OT] New machine - sound hardware?
I've been using a firewire presonus firepod with the freebob drivers
under linux. With Ubuntu Studio and the real time kernel I can get
around 2-5ms with no dropouts. It also works in OSX and windoze. The
midi also works fine. The presonus has been good so far, well
designed, metal case, lots of 1/4 jacks 24/96. They lie a bit on there
spec sheet. They claim it's 10 in 6 out, but in reality you get 6 x
1/4 ins and 4 x 1/4 outs with a stereo digital spidif in and out
ganged up on the midi breakout cable. And I think they let you
replicate an output on your headphone jack, but it's not truly another
out, at least as far as I've been able to tell. As far as a $325 CDN
soundcard goes, it's pretty good.
I also have a midisport 1x1 that works fine in ubuntu.

Hi all,
Been off the list - overworked and ill...
So, after my laptop was stolen, I bought a new one. But really a new
one, so now I have some serious problems...
Technically this does what I need in every way but sound hardware. Two
instances of PD use seperate processors of the CPU, so sound and PDP
can run in two PDs ;~) Well, The audio latency is 280ms and I still
get dropouts. Damn you Dell ;-{
BUT - there is no PCMCIA cardbus slot. Only a new expresscard slot,
which might become useful given a year or two. Of course I am hoping
that there is a solution to my audio hardware problems, so I ask a few
questions now.
1. Has anyone a working firewire (ieee1394) interface with their
laptop that runs with low latency (16ms, MIDI in to audio out) under
Linux with PD? What is it and what driver (ffado? freeBoB?)
2. What MIDI interface under Ubuntu? I have tried and tried again to
get a Midisport 2x2 working with both the source code (both versions -
0.5 and 1.2) and the Ubuntu packages - no luck!
3. USB audio interface? I know this is a long shot...ALSA has never
worked with PD on any computer I have owned.
There is also the expresscard interface - for which their are only two
soundcards AFAIK - Creative X-Fi (support has been dropped, and no
source code available) and Universal Audio X-Pander (I can't afford
it, and there's no Linux support as yet).
So, are there any really good reports of successful hardware/linux
combinations? I really think we and the rest of the Linux community
need to crack this. I'm not a good enough software developer to write
drivers and I don't have much time right now*, but the best hardware
is firewire these days, and RME don't make a PCMCIA expresscard interface.
Searching the archives lead me to few emails, one success with freeBoB
and an Edirol interface was the only optimism I found. PD under Linux
has become pretty much useless with this new computer - dropouts
everywhere. (PS, Window$ Vista is the operating system that stops you
operating, and is bad with every audio program I have found).
But as the old computers die, we'll be left with these machines with
their altered hardware configuration. It's getting harder and harder
to run PD on new hardware.
Best,
