I have a mini maestro 18 and would like to be able to control the servos from MAX/MSP?

I am able to communicate with is. It responds to input but the servo's are not responing.

I would really appreciate it if nyone can supply me a patch that would work.

without telling anything about OS you use,

I am not familiar with MAX/MSP, and we do not have any specific resources for it. However, from a quick look through their reference documentation, it looks like it supports creating serial objects, so you might try using that to communicate with the Maestro through its virtual COM port (please note that the Maestro’s serial mode should be set to “USB Dual Port”). Alternatively, if MAX/MSP has a way to use the command prompt (directly or through something like a shell script), you could try using it to invoke the UscCmd command-line utility.

I'm a bit too novice to write this from scratch...

And here the control software which works ok, but I'd reallly need it to work with MAX/MSP.

this is control of channel 1 if set as servo

you need to configure max serial object depending on what you set

I set is up and it is communicating (led flashes) but servo is not moving?

If I want multiple onse I replace the '1' in the 132-1-$1 $2?

BTW: I noticed that SERIAL was not connected in your patch?

I did not connect serial to avoid sending of false data,

and also because I don't know what it needs to be set for you device.

you need only 1 serial object, but take care to send messages one by one,

If you want to send controls to multiple channels, you have several options.

it is simple to use, here example for channel 1:

or even multislider (listfunnel indexes list members using set offset)

to convert hex to decimal, simply type hex into max message
