I need some help with adapting a M4L device. I’m using a device that was made to interpret OSC data via 

 (Kinect motion capture app), and I need it to work with the data coming from 

The Synapse patch is pasted below. The incoming data looks like this:

/joint/direction, for example /righthand/up. When a match for both the joint and direction is found, a bang is sent. The Synapse app is already telling me that the hand is moving up. The Ni-Mate app does not - instead it will be:

/righthand/Y/and a changing number between 0 and 127. I can change the range of numbers if needed.

I know I need to use something in the patch to tell me that the number is increasing or decreasing, I'm assuming the 

 object? Then this can send the required “up” or “down” message. I’ve tried this, but I’m not experienced enough to figure out how exactly how to adapt the patch. The numbers are constantly changing, and I’m getting a bang all the time, so I need to figure out how much the hand must move to trigger the action. I'm also not quite sure where to implement this in the patch or subpatch so that I can still choose different joints and direction from the dropdown lists.

I'd appreciate any help!
