I created a Max patch for a sound installation that made a functioning timepiece using the cpuclock object. I want to create a similar patch in RNBO that can operate on a Raspberry Pi that has a clock module installed, but to my knowledge there is no equivalent to the cpuclock object. 

Is there a way to bring the RP's CPU clock data into RNBO?

it made a while. Hope everyone fine here. 

A couple of questions more C74 oriented to.

I have some habits using GL contexts and GPU things (like bypassing jit.gl.pix etc) for saving GPU (& CPU if some parameters are flowing too) but I wanted to clarify them. For instance, jit.fx... family, as a comparison, got a bypass internal attributes/features , so nowadays, this is the way, I understand.

Does a jit.gl.node consume something if it is "directed" by changing the drawto to a null context ? Is it "better" to disable it (enable 0) ?

Does a GL 3D objects (I mean gridshape, sketch etc etc) has to be disable too if it is rendered by a jit.gl.node which have been disabled ? More precisely, do I have to disable and/or switch drawto  to null the jit.gl.node AND disable GL 3D objects too ?

I used to do both, but maybe the rendering context (jit.gl.node) is the only one to be switched (drawto, etc)

Maybe, some other questions will come here.

I've been working on a TypeScript starter framework for Max and Max for Live development. It’s something that I built to streamline my workflow and its become part of my regular toolset. I hope that it might be useful to others working with js in Max who want modern tooling, better structure, or just an easier way to manage growing projects.

It's mildly opinionated, but I don't think there's anything that diverges too much from community standards on either the Max or TS dev sides. I just tried to mash together both worlds in as clean a way as possible. With IDE integration (I use webstorm), code build and deploy to my Max project is down to one button press.

https://github.com/liminalfield/max-ts-dev-framework

This is still a work in progress — the main branch currently uses tsc, and as mentioned above, dev branch uses esbuild as default.

I'd appreciate feedback if anyone tries this. I haven't hit any insurmountable issues yet, and it works with my workflow, but I'd love to hear about any deficiencies or issues with other workflows and usage patterns. 

Let me know if you give it a try or run into any issues. Always happy to iterate.

Is it necessary/recommended to properly shutdown a rPi4 with RNBO, as opposed to just killing power?

I am building something for a long running installation that needs to work unattended. Everything should start up fine just with power, but should I use some sort of shutdown command before power gets killed, like we do with PCs? I  have an Arduino on the network that could send osc for that with a button, or I can have a python script running with the gpio pins. Or is it just fine to simply kill the power, long term?

I'm working on this spectrum visualiser and I want to write it in a shader. 

I've gotten stuck with avoiding the interpolation between fragments. I tried getting the floor of a scaled up UV to be my pixels but that didn't work. 

To be honest it looks alright with the interpolation but it's not really what I'm going for and I'd like to know how to turn it off. 

I've included the jit.gen patch as a reference too.

I'm working on a kind of spectrum visualiser. I'm using a multichannel FFT to get a range of signals at each frequency bin and display them in a kind of wave table form. In the jit.gen patch I had to separate each plane of the input matrix using the swiz operator but I'd like to be able to do this dynamically so I can use FFT's with higher resolutions without needing to add a bunch more swiz operators. 

I tried using javascript but it slows down the render rate too much. Can it be done at all?

By default with subscribemode set to active in a [pattrstorage], all objects are unsubscribed. Is there a way to subscribe all by default and manually unsubscribe? I ask because it becomes tedious to name every object that I want within a specific [pattrstorage]'s scope when there are only two objects I want it to ignore.

Perhaps there's another way to go about this that isn't subscribe mode?

My ultimate goal is to save the state of the unsubscribed ones in a [pattrstorage] in a totally separate subpatcher and bind them using pattrmarker. This allows me to change the state of all objects with exception to a couple ones that I want in an isolated scope.

Here is a basic idea of what I'm trying to do, but my larger patch is much much more complex:
