You can check a simple demo on YouTube at:

This is my first trial to communicate between iPhone and Max/MSP.
In this time, you can only send any text from iPhone to Max/MSP when
you tap a button (mouseup/click) on iPhone. I think you can’t
implement a mousedown and mousemove behavior due to the limitation of
iPhone OS/UI.

I’m trying to improve it and this is a quick and dirty report.
I’m very glad if anyone shows me how to implement a finger drag handler.

Thank you.

Seems like it would be easy to do via javascript, etc.

Have you used script.aculo.us? That library has some really great
AJAX sliders implemented, that look perfect for a web -> max interface.

With script.aculo.us an other dhtml libraries you could totally make
a scriptable interface mimicking the Lemur.

can anyone say pocket lemur !?

I can :)

Thats awesome! Keep it up!

I tried script.aculo.us but their slider demo and drag-and-drop demo
don’t work on my iPhone.

AFAIK, iPhone Safari does not give us a mousemove message.

http://ajaxian.com/archives/iphone-safari-notes-and-quirks

Thus we have to find any trick out …

Yes. I wish it.
a pocket lemur (multi-touch display)
+ wiiremote (acceleration sensor)
+ theremin (distance sensor)
+ street lamp (light sensor)
;-)

Thank you.

function init() {
var drag = document.getElementById(“drag”);
drag.addEventListener(“mousemove”, moveme, true);
drag.addEventListener(“click”, function(evt)
{ evt.preventDefault(); }, false);
}

Drag Me

But only as a click, not an actual mousemove…however, for sliders
this would work ok, though lame…

Also, there is this:

http://dev.visualdrugs.net/mootools/iphone/iphone.html

I’m going to have to think about this a bit more to figure out how to
deal with it…would be a nice lemur-esque interface.

you friggin rule… always one step ahead. I sat down one afternoon in feb to try and hack the WIImote… i discovered your objects…

todays task was to start on iPHONE hacks – im in tech right now and have a lot of time free…

then i discovered your iPHONE object.

now im patching my fractalizer patch to this glorious object…

happy DAY!!!!

pocket lemur here we come, the real reason i bought an iPHONE anyways.

while this is probably the wrong place to ask this – ive been having some issues getting PHP running on my mac.

While the error_log says that PHP is running when i start apache – when i make a call to phpinfo();, it does not return any data. I have also tried this on my personal web server (online), and to no avail it does not work either.

the source of my index.php file is thus:

hello world!

< ?php

phpinfo();

?>

i am a total PHP noob, but im pretty programming savvy – and usually dont find it to difficult to kluge together different snippets of code to make thins work…

any ideas?

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ also has ‘newer’ php
compiles as package installers, they are great and I use them for my
servers for clients if they need an OS X server web server.

Anyway :) OT.

Being able to set areas of the screen to Max interface objects would be fantastic, the ultimate in flexibility (patch shows up on the screen).

I’m sure lots of you have seen this but it’s pretty awesome still:

http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/

Some version of that might be doable in a smaller and cheaper scale, some kind of pressure-sensitive multi-touch device. If it didn’t need all the fancy features of an iPhone (just a MIDI controller basically) I think it could be pretty affordable.

Connect with bluetooth and show up in the *hi* menu. Nice!

I’m sure I’m overlooking lots of technical problems though… but you gotta dream.

–CJ

I was starting to program up something for the DS, but realized that with my skills in programming it would be years before it was completed. If anyone wants to program this, I would love to see it happen:
http://www.noema.art.br/
I’ve got a lot of it thought out, and created graphics for most of the easy to program stuff already. There are many possibilities I’ve thought of past the simple drag and drop. From the small amount that I used the DS as a simple XY controller I was hooked. It’s so much better than a Lemur because it’s so small that you can carry it everywhere and be moving around.

Let me know if graphics are needed for the iphone interface.

Ta, ta, Ian

cheers

You can create WEB 2.0 application for iPhone that controls Max/MSP/
Jitter ( and SuperCollider, Reaktor, Flash….) with “aka.iPhone/
Experiment 1″ technique. But I can’t figure out the mouse (finger)
drag handler.

On the other hand, some experts are creating native iPhone
applications such as vRecord (a voice recorder), NES ( a Nintendo
emulator), DOOM ( a shooting game). Thus I’m interesting in the
native approach even though I’ve not started it yet.

I know, I know… you can’t even buy it yet. But when someone gets a chance to try this aka.iphone technique on the new iPod touch, let us know if it works. The iPod touch has Safari and wi-fi, so I imagine it should work almost the same.

I don’t intend to give AT&T hundreds (or is it thousands?) of dollars for a 2 year iPhone contract that I definitely do not need, so the iPod touch looks pretty tempting especially if it has good hacking possibilities :)

According to the specs on apple website, it does not.

(3) Enable PHP (on Mac OS X 10.4, as below)

- Open “/etc/httpd/httpd.conf”
- Remove “#” character at the top of the line below
(Line 240) #LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
(Line 284) #AddModule mod_php4.c
- Save and close “httpd.conf”

when I go to httpd.conf file
i’ve opened it with text wrangler and at the line you specified I
cannot find
the code you specified.
I did a search and I’ve found this:

# PHP4 configuration
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

but there are no # to delete, as you suggested.

I connected succesfully from iPhone to my computer’s server, but no
message from iPhone is
received by your patch.

How to fix the problem?

Thank you in advance

ps
are you still developing this wonderful object?
it’s a grat idea!

As Adam said, “aka.iPhone / Experiment 1″ works on HTTP+JavaScript
and iPod touch has Safari. Thus I believe it works on iPod touch.

About a native application, I can’t promise anything but I’m starting
it now after one month trip around Europe.

with sketches you can draw continously lines with finger
with sensors you get display of sensors tilt data coming from iphone.

im not a programmer and dont understand quite anything about this,
but maybe you may ask them for the source code…

after that,
i am a bit scared that “pinching” feature on iphone is only related
to the phone phocus, so I cannot figure out any way to use it in a
web 2.0 app.

sorry for these not-technical ideas… but they come from a little
long research, so u may find it useful

cheers!!!
