[PD] [pd] forum hacked
some hackers just took down the pd forum ( http://puredata.hurleur.com/ ) does anyone know how to fix that? hopefully neko, who moderates the forum, can do something. it would be a shame if we lost all the posts from there. ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Nice post, it's not every day when you see Duchamp, Debord, and Deleuze mentioned in the same sentence, especially on a list that normally focuses on technical matters!

Hi Luigi, Just to be clear: Can you connect to the database with just Python? If not, I will try to help later today.

Re: [PD] HID Crashing
I need more info to know what's going on. First off, which version are you using (i.e. the numbers not the most recent)? A log of what's in the Pd window would be useful. Here's how: - launch Pd - in the Preferences - StartUp, add -stderr to the startup flags - click Save all settings - quit Pd - start Pd again - send the [print( message to [hid] - use [hid] until it crashes - launch /Applications/Utilities/Console.app - in Console.app, copy the stuff from Pd (looks the same as in the Pd window) - paste this in an email and send it here. .hc On Apr 8, 2007, at 7:07 AM, Clifford Dunn wrote: I am using version 0.6 of HID and it still keeps crashing.

Re: [PD] frequency graphing in gem
Hi, I suggest changing the [spigot~] objects to [pd spigot~] subpatches, because: 1. Many versions don't have such an object, and more importantly, 2. There is a [spigot~] object from ydegoyon, that does NOT behave in the way that you expect in your patch ... i.e. it's not like [spigot], I don't remember what it does but I'm basing this on a statement Kyle made about 6 months ago. ~D On 4/4/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I dont know what happened to the file but here it is again Alain From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2007/04/04 Wed AM 10:56:26 EDT To: pd-list@iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] frequency graphing in gem Does anyone know where I can get [scopeXYZ~] compiled for ppc or how to compile from cvs for ppc on os X.

Re: [PD] HID Crashing
Here is what the Pd window gives me for the print method in hid. It appears to detect the sidewinder (my gamepad) in all its glory, but the buttons do not register when pressed. I tried using the test option in the help patch to no avail as well. The gamepad should be fine, since I was using it with hid last year, and it works with other applications. On my system with the below configuration, devices listed 5 and above crash Pd.

It crashes when trying to open higher device numbers. Like which device numbers? Could you send more info, like a transcript of the stuff in the Pd window? Also, only the analog d-pad for my game pad works, but not the buttons. The game pad works with snes9x for gaming, so it must be HID. It used to work on earlier builds, so it may be something with the latest version. This is actually most likely to be a shoddy USB HID descriptor in the USB device, which what the OS uses to know what data to expect from the device. If the OS can't get the data, then [hid] can't either. What do you get in the Pd window when you send a [print( message to [hid]? You should see a listing of the elements for that device as given by the OS. If something is listed there that is not showing up in Pd space, that's most likely a bug in [hid]. If it is not listed there, that's most likely a bad USB implementation on the device, which is sadly quite common. .hc ~Kyle On 4/6/07, Clifford Dunn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Derek, Doing this did help me open the help file.
