record incoming data

Frederico Pereira's icon

Hi all,

I have a patch that receives information from head tracker. I would like to have max to record this data over time. Also would like to have a way of at the press of a button (using something like a wireless keyboard, or nintendo wii remote...etc), register the actual data, so I could later analyse, looking at the overall recording of data, and the "clicked" printed data.

Anyone has some experience with this?

What devices you guys used for the "clicker"?

How can i record incoming data?....any example ?

I'll be using Fastrak headtracker for this.

Thanks in advance for all help.

this could be a good start to record data in to movie:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

the only thing is the compression to record your data in see this forum thread:

well, for storing large lists of numbers I would recommend something like the coll object,

you can give every incoming number a index ( i.e. with a counter) and store it in a list, where you can later recall every single line of data.

For the "clicked" data you could do the same, just not record all the time but only store specific cues into the coll.

hope that helps

best regards

counter and coll, or
counter and peek~ and buffer~, or
counter and jit.matrix
are all good options for storing an indexed array
