[arduino board external control]

Thanks,

i resolved, i had a broken sensor now i cheanged it and everythink works fine

[No Audio Win 7 x64 on Display PC]

the problems on the display pc regards audio files or video files?

which format and compression are your files?

Thank You Mike,

i agree with you to use watchout native protocol,

i used dmx and midi in the past and i haven't problems to use it

but using genericinput and setinput command have some problems to make it works correctly,

i want to assign a variable value in the setinput command.

is there documentation about it or are you programming something for the future maybe components or "plugins" for watchout?

[arduino board external control]

i was wondering if someone has experience with arduino board whit different type of sensors.

I use it for example to control dataton watchout show through flash.i use proximity sensors, or analog buttons to start stop jump a show.

now i am tryng to control media into watchout, for example change the position of an object on stage.

i set a generic input and change the limit value to 1023 ( i use a slider attached to the arduino interface that has 1023 steps) then i assigned this input to the position of a media on the stage ( only x position)

i set a commad file on display pc with these strings:

authenticate 1

serialport true "com11"

setinput "the name of the generic input" "value"

delay 6000

load "MyShow"

wait

run

at the setinput line which value have i write?, if i write a number this will be the position on stage and works, but i want to read the values from the serial input in my case the external arduino board with the slider.

i cannot find documentation for this part, maybe, there is documentation for this?maybe i need some component inside watchout?

 

thanks in advance for answer
