detect when number is moving

88mph's icon

trying to create a patch that will detect when a number is moving, which in turn will detect when it is not moveing (i.e, when it has remained still for a number of millisecond)

this is what i have, but it doesnt work

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

to clarify, this is simply to detect when a controller is NOT in use

[change] is your friend , it detects changing numbers as its name might suggest it ...
this might help :

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Is this what you want? It sends out 1s as long as the values it gets
in change faster than the argument in the delay object.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Hint: too many objects, you need one object to detect the moving and one
to detect if its not moving...

Wrong assumption, its really easy IF you go though the tutorials, which
is obvious you didn't.

Doesn't it drive the red colour of shame into you face, knowing that
your teacher will read this? (True I am just guessing that the deadline
has to do with a task for a course, but if there would be a serious
deadline, this kind of question is very unlikely, and its very likely
your teacher does read the list, even if she doesn't show up with her
real name...)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

no, i am not ashamed to ask simple questions, those who dont ask questions will not learn

i used that as my signature because people on this site made me feel i should appologise, but the truth is I think that message forums like this have a purpose, and that is one of shared knowledge. and a medium like max/msp thrives when its experts dont mind helping its newbies.

no i havent read the tutorials in their entirety, but i do use them for reference. i dont have time to read them all, i must learn on the job, which is why i use this forum. and when i consider myself learned, i will share my knowledge with others freely and gladly.

and if my lecturer is reading this, i hope he see's it as a resourcful action, and not one that undermines my intelligence.

so thank you for your advice, my system is now working fine

If you first try to answer your questions yourself, you learn muuuuch
more. (Just something I learnd and love to share with you)

I never mind helping newbies, but I definitely prefer to help after they
tried themself (eventually hard).

Thats one important point. Nobody has time, especially those you ask for
help. You'll get more help if you respect other peoples time. And it is
not true, that the forum is faster for learning. Going through the
tutorials will take you very little time and teach you more, they'll
answer your questions of tomorrow.

Your kind of questions would be appropriate for a chat channel, maybe
thats something to consider for Wallace...

And don't forget, you're welcome... (but try a little bit harder ;-)

are you implying i dont help myself? do you think i am relying on this forum for answers, and i am sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for a responce?

You are mistaken
