I just started working with the min-devkit a little bit and I am running into a weird crash I don't quite understand (see code snippet below).  I am on Sequoia 15.1.1 on a 2023 M3 using Max 8.6.5.

If I send something out an outlet, starting with a string followed by a single number (e.g. float), that works. Anything else seems to cause a crash.

What I am trying to do is add a string before a list of floats so I can use [route] in max to further process the output.

Furthermore, when I use a string followed by atoms 

No matching member function for call to 'push_back'

referring me to c74_min_outlet.h line 282

 // utility: queue an argument of any type for output
    template <typename argument_type>
    void queue_argument(const argument_type& arg) noexcept
    {
        m_accumulated_output.push_back(arg);
    }


 to add a value to the end of it. However, if I look at the type of m_accumulated_output it is of type 

If I go to c74_min_atom.h it clearly states on line 319 that:

// We don't own the array of atoms, so we cannot do these operations:
    // insert
    // erase
    // push_back
    // push_front
    // pop_front
    // pop_back

I might have a fundamental misunderstanding here, but it looks like that if we deal with atoms we can't use 

, but in queue_argument() from c74_min_outlet.h (line 282) we clearly use .push_back() to try to add something to 

So, long story short: what is the correct way of sending something like:

std::vector<float> data = {....};
std::string routing = "data";

to_outlet.send(routing, data);

so in max I can use [route data] to process the output?

Here are the different ways I have tried to use this and the results:

   // Handle "bang" message
    message<> bang{this, "bang", "Outputs the data.",
        MIN_FUNCTION {

            std::vector<float> entry = {7.4f};
            std::vector<float> entries = {1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f};
            atoms data(entries.size());
            data = to_atoms(entries);

                //use vector directly => crash
            model.send(entries);  // => crash

            //convert vector to atoms => works
            model.send(data);  // ==> works

            model.send(to_atoms(entries));  // ==> works

                //use string with float => works
            model.send("data", 1.45f); // ==> works

            //use string with atoms (single float) => crash
            model.send("data", to_atoms(entry)); // ==> crash

                //use string with float vector => crash
            model.send("data", entries); // ==> crash

                //use string with atoms (multiple floats) => crash
            model.send("data", data);  // ==> crash

            return {};
        }
    };

MaxMSP/Jitter and P5*js - a simple solution for interfacing "patches" created in MaxMSP/Jitter and "sketches" written in P5*js (

This is a side effect of my current work on some projects with WRO Art Center, dæd bɑɪtz, and others. It's an simple interface allowing communication between the MaxMSP and P5*js sketches loaded into Max [jweb] object, but can be very useful... for small number of people.

This "solution" is very basic, but may be easily adapted to individual needs, so I decided to share it with you.

Btw: Using the P5*js together with Max is opening some new horizons (I explore this issue for some time). I will try to elaborate on this in the near future.

MaxMSP/Jitter and P5*js - a simple solution for interfacing "patches" created in MaxMSP/Jitter and "sketches" written in P5*js (http://p5js.org).

more info, download: http://paweljanicki.jp/projects_maxandp5js_en.html


sharing-is-maxmspjitter-and-p5js

Thank you for sharing this! Huge p5.js fan!


I have updated (and simplified) the instructions a bit.

Generally, to communicate P5js sketches loaded into Max [jweb] object with the parent patcher we have to avoid namespaces conflict between Max and P5js APIs. Fortunately, there is a very simple solution for this: just run your P5js sketch in so called "instance mode" (not default "global mode").

Example project and details: https://www.paweljanicki.jp/projects_maxandp5js_en.html

I have slightly updated  example project by adding a mechanism to enable/disable background (opaque/transparent switching). So now it is possible to use P5js sketch loaded into MaxMSP [jweb] object as a transparent "layer". This should make a little bit easier to create your own GUI elements in P5js - you no longer need to adjust the background color of the p5js sketch to the background color of the patch in MaxMSP.

Project's URL is still the same: https://www.paweljanicki.jp/projects_maxandp5js_en.html

I have updated MaxAndP5js a bit. I added a second example, showing how to launch (from a jweb object in MaxMSP) a p5js sketch using Vida library for simple motion detection.

I made some updates to the project: on the p5js side I refreshed the syntax of the example sketches (no more var!) and compatibility with new versions of Max is improved (8.2!).

Oh, and there is a new example: Euclidean/Bjorklund's rhythm generator (easy to adapt to any algorithm for generating rhythmical patterns). Bjorklund's algorithm is implemented on p5js side (JavaScript) and you may find Max-native, more robust, versions on the forum (e.g. https://cycling74.com/forums/using-euclideanbjorklund-algorithm-for-rhythm-generation-purely-in-max), but you can, with very little effort, integrate your preferable - Max-native or not, Euclidean or not - rhythm generator with the a handy GUI solution for visualising rhythmical patterns used in this example.

The location is unchanged: https://www.paweljanicki.jp/projects_maxandp5js_en.html 

I updated my pet-project MaxAndP5js - a simple solution for interfacing "patches" created in MaxMSP/Jitter and "sketches" written in p5js (https://p5js.org).

This time I added another example and corrected the descriptions of the existing ones. So, we now have the following examples:

01_messaging_and_dictionaries - basic mechanisms, messaging, sharing dictionaries between Max and p5js;
 
02_camera_and_motion_detection - simple "camera and motion detection based instrument". Motion detection is made "inside" jweb (and p5js sketch loaded into it) using Vida library (https://www.tetoki.eu/vida) for p5js;

03_euclidean_rhythm_generator - Euclidean/Bjorklund's rhythm generator (easy to adapt to any algorithm for generating rhythmical patterns). Bjorklund's algorithm is implemented on p5js side (JavaScript) and you may find Max-native, more robust, versions on the forum (e.g. https://cycling74.com/forums/using-euclideanbjorklund-algorithm-for-rhythm-generation-purely-in-max), but you can, with very little effort, integrate your preferable - Max-native or not, Euclidean or not - rhythm generator with the a handy GUI solution for visualising rhythmical patterns used in this example;

04_generative_text_with_rita - a text generator based on RiTa library (https://rednoise.org/rita) for p5js. Generating sentences based on Markov strings, access to the RiTa lexicon (random words, rhymes). It's only a small fraction of RiTa features exposed in this example, but it is relatively easy to bind more RiTa mechanisms to your patch.

Hiya devs, I just wanted to follow up to find out if there was any progress on docs, examples, and/or SDK support for Arrays and Strings, or if there is a projection for when we might see such a thing. It would be great to add support for these to Scheme for Max soon.

i am currently trying to update a patch of mine to 64 bit since i need more memory. and i am very badly missing the jit.freenect.grab external which only runs in 32 bit.

i asked the programmer, jean marc pelletier, directly and this was his reply:

"Hi, sorry, I don’t have any time to dedicate to this project anymore… It’s open source, so if some enterprising soul (wink, wink) wants to have a stab at re-compiling, that would be great."

now... since i never compiled anything myself i am wondering: might there be any 'enterprising soul' out there who is working on this?
