I am using the kinect/openni to track my hands x and y locations. The problem I am having is that the data is constantly changing and I am trying to start playback of an audio file when the hand goes beyond a certain x or y coordinate. However when the given hand does this, it constantly turns the toggle on and off which never allows the track to play. How can I turn live constantly changing data to start playback of an audio file. The patch is driven by the kinect, but I will post it anyway.

noisy data can be overcome in several ways; Chris Muir's compendium of solutions can be found by following his responses here:

Getting a single trigger from a threshold is usually tackled with [> "anyValue"] --> [togedge] then maybe a [onebang] if needed.

That's exactly what I needed. It now sends one bang when my hand goes beyond a certain x coordinate(activating the toggle) and sends one bang when the hand returns(deactivating the toggle). Thanks a lot Brendan, I now can progress further on my art installation.
