Hi I have problem with a patch im working on to control a Make controller.

The project might best be described as a sculpture-deformer. Sort of a reveres 3d printer in which a clay form is squeezed and moddled. I have a turntable which I have got position control on by using a mouse as rotation feedback. Another motor gives me vertical rise -again using a mouse as feedback position. A third motor controls a pincher that does the deforming.

I have all three patches working fine and doing what I need. But when I try to combine them or run them together I stop getting analogue information in form position switches and a string of error messages appears in the MAX window - "Error - No type tag" and "Error extracting data from packet - type doesn't correspond to data included."

So whats the problem? I thought maybe i should use only one mc.usb but thats not working at the moment either.
