Hi Josh, The update parameter of the RSS patch is a Boolean signal. You could attach a button to it in a regular app, but in a screen saver setting the most useful thing to do is set up a Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO Patch) to periodically set that port to true. It will update on the leading edge of the signal.
Hope that helps, Troy On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 10:41 AM, Josh Mauldin < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi list— > > I've been banging my head against the desk working on this one.
