README

These are more general instructions on using Pd/Gem and the installation patches on this dell. 

NOTE: Each patch has a [pd help] subpatch that has step-by-step instructions on how to use it. These should be used as the main nstructions for the patch. 

IMPORTANT: you must open Pd in the command line and load the py library so that all of the pyext ptches will work. Use: "Program files\pd\bin\pd -lib py"

-All patches and .py files are in Program Files\pd

Installation Patches:

	- floorsensorharm.pd

		This patch is the most updated patch for the floor sensors and is used in the installation. In [pd help] for this patch, it says that you need to open the I-cubeX editor first. Sometimesthe patch works without doing this, but sometimes it doesn't. I would open it first just to be safe.

	- twocams.pd

		This patch sends the x-value information from the two cameras to the G5. The patch loads with only one camera, which is why you have to click the bang labled "turn cameras on" to get both cameras to run at the same time. Move your hand in front of each camera and make sure the
		X and Y values for each [pix_blob] object are changing. Make sure you click the connect message to connect to the G5.

Other useful Patches:

	- floorsensor.pd

		This patch is basically the same as floorsensorharm.pd, except that it doesn't include the mid note to the harmony. So when the second floor sensor is pressed, only the high note plays. 

	- teapot.pd

		This patch was used with the bayes net patch to make graphics that go with it. It takes in midi values from the G5 that are OSC'ed over. You have to make sure that the argument for dumpOSC matches with the number on the G5. 

	- movement.pd

		This patch detects horizontal, vertical, and diagonal movement. To hear the sound that it produces, compute audio must be on and the midi ouput device has to be set to the midi synth. You can use any of the cameras for this patch.
