USEING P5 GLOVE WITH MAX/MSP
Hi
I am trying to use the p5 virtual reality glove to controll sounds useing max/msp. I am haveing problems connecting the p5 glove up to my pc useing the hi and spray objects. It seems to work fine when useing macs, but im haveing problems useing my pc. I know it can be done. Has anyone got any views on how to do this alternitively or by still useing the hi and spray objects. It might just be a problem with drivers, am not sure...
Kind Regards
Nick

I've been using it with a Mac. But, I think the info you want is here:
Also, there is a yahoo group:

have you managed to get the glove working with an intel mac? i cant get the new drivers to work, the glove is still controlling OS stuff, also the commandline isnt porting osc correctly so max isnt able to recieve the data.

It seems to work fine for me on the command line (as far as "p5osc -d", but the packets it sends to Max are 1) on port 7000 and 2) not good OSC.
You should email Tim Kreger... I'll get on it as soon as I finish a couple of big performances....
It is a little fussy about starting the driver; try replugging the glove if it doesn't work.

hi Will,
you need to make sure you've got the latest version from the simulus page -
and that you've removed any old p5 drivers. That should stop the P5 being
interpreted as a mouse by the OS. However, I'm sitll having problems with
OSC in Max/MSP. Have chatted with Tim about this but neither of us have had
much time to dig further in to it. The main problem seems to arise from
switching to the intel version of the CNMAT OSC external. If you have the
energy to investigate using an alternative OSC capable host (supercollider?)
then that would help narrow down where the issue is.

I just ran CNMAT's dumpOSC command line utility. I get similar errors to the Max UDP object. Specifically:
[ 100000000000000
*** ERROR: Bad size count 1275068416 in bundle (only 76 bytes left in entire bundle)
So, I'm thinking that the OSC data is not properly formatted on the way out of p5 OSC.

you're in luck (sort of)...
i wrote an external called p5in that... you guessed it, gets input from a p5 glove. the one problem is that it's written for windows, but the code should be pretty much exactly the same.
let me know if anyone wants me to post it, and i will.
Heya
I would be most greatfull if i could get a copy of that external you wrote. I am a windown user so it would be ideal for me!

i get similar messages using both udp and cnmat, i contacted tim in january and had a look a breif look at the source but to no avail.
if anybody is interested in tackling the p5osc source hre is the link:

id like to have a look at the code and try compiling for intel if you dont mind. no garuantees mind! :)
WIll
Has anyone had any luck with this issue yet? If not I will take a crack at it... Is this problem an issue specifically with p5osc on intel, or is it an aspect of a wider issue?
thanks,

hi jeff,
as far as I know it is a problem with p5osc on intel only. One potentially
important change between PPC and Intel is that the CNMAT externals for
handling OSC are different. Chatting with Tim, he was surprised at the
errors coming up in Max, as he wasn't aware of any reasony why the OSC
message format being generated on Intel would be different (notice the
Max/MSP error messages seem to indicate an issue with the size of the OSC
packet). I've had a go at trying to read from the OSC output of p5osc using
ChucK, just to see if it's an issue with the CNMAT externals, but I'm
getting segmentation faults from ChucK when trying to read from p5osc and no
further error message, so that's not particularly useful. I haven't tried
with PD yet, but that's another option....
Happy to help if I can - let us know what you find.
cheers,
Mark

Hi!
Try
Multicontrol by Jensenius
Easy to choose any general Human Interface Device (HID)
Automatically detects buttons, sliders, etc in use
Automatic scaling to 0.-1. (OSC) or 0-127 (MIDI)
Easy to choose desired output scaling
Optional data smoothing
Can output data using either Open Sound Control (OSC) or MIDI
Store presets to xml-files
http://www.hf.uio.no/imv/forskning/forskningsprosjekter/
musicalgestures/resources/multicontrol/index.html
I use with Max/msp Reaktor 5 and P5 of course... on a macbook pro
2.16 ghz
Bang!

Hi Aldo,
looks very interesting. I just tried this but it seems the p5 is not
detected by multicontrol. I suspect this is due to the dummy driver that is
installed as part of Tim's p5osc set up - can you explain a little bit more
about how you've got the p5 configured on your MBP, as far as drivers/HID
interface etc?
thanks

Hi People
If any of you are looking for an easy way to use the p5 glove in max, here is one way if you dont already know it;
download a midi converter for the glove, they are easy to find!
There is something called Midiyoke which allowes devices and applications to communicate with each other, you need to download midiyoke and install. In the midi converter app for, the p5 glove you will be able to choose midiyoke as a port for the glove. Then in max/msp use the ctl in object and select midiyoke, and you will find variables moveing up and down in accordance to the glove.
Hope this helps some of you
Cheers
Nick
Hi...
it seems ok... but only for windows...
P5 midilove is another app... very simple and efective...but, windows
only too...
Bang!

I'm having no problem with the p5 on an intel. I use an altered
version of Dan Lehrlich's p5 glove MIDI assigner, replacing otdup
with udpreceive, and osc-route with [route /p5glove_data]. All works
great (insofar as the p5 works great at all).

hi mattyo,
that's very interesting to hear. which versions of p5osc and udpreceive are
you running?
I managed to get multicontrol working with the p5 on my MBP, but I like the
p5 glove MIDI assigner better as far as a cleaner interface to the p5 goes.
cheers,
Mark

p5osc -- no idea. Creation date is June 7 '05.
udpreceive -- again no version number. Created Sept 22 '06.

wow. well, I remain intrigued - it took some to and fro last year with Tim
to get a version of p5osc and kernel extensions that would work on and Intel
Mac, so I'm assuming that the version of the kernel extensions is relatively
recent.
I just had another go with the version of p5osc that I have along with an
updated set of CNMAT externals (they have a new build of externals released
just this month) but I still get the same errors. Would you mind sending
through your modified p5glove midi assigner patch, in case the way I'm
modifying it is wrong?
cheers,

Hi Simon,
your app looks fantastic.
Happy to help with recompiling for Intel.
Looks like I've solved the problem with p5osc on Intel, so I'll post a new
binary soon.

It's running. If you want to see the data, you need to add the -d
