My simple divide won't work?
Check the help file for /. It's explained there, and gives you the method for getting the output.
I looked at the help file for / there but i still cant see what I'm doing wrong, i am new to max so I am still trying to figure out how everything works.
to trigger the calculation on the right / input, you need to bang it's left inlet.
Or use the [!/] object, which means "divide into" instead of "divide by".
What's also important is to learn and understand the difference between hot and cold inlets (left and right) for Max objects
Exactly, Brendan. The "hot/cold" distinction *is* explained in that help file - I just checked; Right inlet specifically says "no output", and there's a "bang for output" connected to the left inlet.
@christopher: The problem there is that Catherine's patch has a numbox for changing the 1, so the problem would persist even with !/, only for changes to *that* parameter.
well, then i´d suggest to use
[flonum] [receive]

[pak 0. 0.]

[/ 1.] {both outputs into first inlet of division}
not only you can bang hot inputs, some objects such as + - * / minimum maximum also accepts a list of left and right operand.
110 :)
Similar functionality to roman's solution: put bondo between the number boxes and the divide.
Thanks everyone :) got it sorted!
