i try to read data from my usb-port, which is connected with an arduino board.

to get into this "reading from arduino" i programmed the board like this:

so every second i receive an issue either "M" or "A" (just to have 2 different values), which i can read on the serial monitor in arduino. but how can i receive those values in max? which object do i have to use?

i have read about (in this forum as well) the simple message system and i have installed it. but doesnt it work without this?

can't i handle the arduino board, like something that sends values via usbport, which i can read in max?

thank you for patience. i am relatively new to both programs

my 2nd entry.
i try to read data from my usb-port, which is connected with an arduino board.

  Serial.println( char(65) );
  delay(1000);

i use a powerbook g4, Mac os X 10.4.3

its quiet simple with the serial object - just look for the help - and 

there is an object called itao which translate the ascii code into A-B 

have two values its no problem - otherwise google for arduino meets 

some samples which use processing to translate the ascii data - and with 

send the data from processing to max - this is the way i did it when i

its quiet simple with the serial object - just look for the help - and 
for reading the ascii code
there is an object called itao which translate the ascii code into A-B 
1-9 and so on - if you only
have two values its no problem - otherwise google for arduino meets 
processing - there are
some samples which use processing to translate the ascii data - and with 
udp library you can
send the data from processing to max - this is the way i did it when i 
used more than one
sensor

i was looking at the help file of the serial object.

the arduino-board still runs the programm i described in my 1st entry. when i press the "print" message in the help file of the serial-object i receive a list of all ports in my max-window.

there it recognise port b as the one wich is connected to the arduio-board.

when i put the b into my serial-object (serial b 9600) occurs following error (in max-win): error: serial: secified port not available

what am i doing wrong?
thanks a lot for every hint and help


or, when i switch the usb-port, occurs following error in the max-window:

error: serial: error opening serial port (/dev/cu.usbserial/-A1015k55).

in arduino i've choosen the port /dev/tty.usbserial/-A1050k5

or, when i switch the usb-port, occurs following error in the max-window:
error: serial: error opening serial port (/dev/cu.usbserial/-A1015k55).
in arduino i've choosen the port /dev/tty.usbserial/-A1050k5
?
hmpf
thanks


make sure you only have one application at a time talking to the serial port.

like.. only the arduino ide, or only max. serial ports can't be shared.

now i have to look how i interpretate them correctly...

awesome.
thanks a lot scott. 
now i receive a lot of datas.

you need to send invisible ascii objects like "10" or so - and then you 

like send all objects into a list end put out the list when a 10 is 

as i said i am using processing for translating the send data - but 

which can read several sensors and puts them out in floats or int - i 

you need to send invisible ascii objects like "10" or so - and then you 
can seperate values
like send all objects into a list end put out the list when a 10 is 
received and this list you can
translate with the itao objects

as i said i am using processing for translating the send data - but 
right now i try to write a object
which can read several sensors and puts them out in floats or int - i 
will inform you when its done.

I have a little question about poly~. I am currently working with the 

fftease externals using them to build pluggo plugins for protools. 

They are however all mono and I need two instances of each object to 

create stereo patches. Would it be more efficiant to use poly~ for 

this or just have two copies of the same object? That is if there is 

any difference at all as far as cpu is concerned.

No use of poly~ for this. Just copy the objects, as you'll always have

No use of poly~ for this. Just copy the objects, as you'll always have 
to do for stereo signals (& more...).
