this picture shows the cause of death of a project.
Unpack with different framerate’s
I experiment with a WII-mote with Motion PLUS attached.
I use CNMAT OSC library which stands for Open Sound C library a way to communicate between OSCulator(use version 2.5.6, otherwise you have to register at their site)
and
Max/MSP/jitter.
To recap: first the WII-mote,
then OSCulator 2.5.6,
then this max patch.
The reasson this patch is dead, it is because i saw the above result while testing.
Which baffled me if a list should be unpacked it should give the same bang on all the exits.
I grunted and thought how bad these French derived software projects turn out to be. I had a typical
always-blame-someone-else attitude. Now as i worked on this article i discovered why i got this result.
Yes this project is dead because i read the results wrong.
The unpack gives this result, because the received list is different in size !
for you i adapted the patch with a [zl len] object and a print to the maxwindow,
lo and behold during five results i receive 4 short lists with two elements and 1 with four.
That explains why i had the result as shown at the top, so if you encounter something that baffles you while you are working. It helps to talk/write about it.
