Post live drawing

hi guys, i would like to develop a software on max/msp connected to polargraph for live drawing.

I would like to control the machine sending coordinates from max/msp for an installation.

Do you have some advice? Someone of you have yet made some experiment like this? Which is the best way for making a communication between the two softwares (Serial)?

thank you

HI guys, i'm still trying to do this.

Now i can receive "ready" messages and "motor released" and other information messages from arduino via serial, the problem is that when i send messages to the arduino, arduino receives them but the commands don't work properly.

Maybe the server doesn't recognize them in this way or am i missing something?

Thank you very much!

I'll copy here my basic max patch :

Without knowing in what way the "commands don't work properly", you should know that it's impossible to help.

What error messages are you receiving back?

I'm getting no response at all on the serial monitor...the fact is that Arduino receives the data because the led blinks... maybe i'm missing something.

Maybe i have to add something to the data like spaces or other carachters?

I tried to send the data in differet ways like in a single message or with multiple single messages.
The only thing that i receive back is ready-200...

Thank you

The serial connection looks working because when i restart the Arduino i get all the informations back and also when i use the touch screen on the polarshield i get messages back...

Well that's a good sign. Have you read https://github.com/euphy/polargraph/wiki/Polargraph-machine-commands-and-responses? There is a termination character (10, or \n) that needs to be on the end of each command - I bet that is the issue.

There is a DEBUG_COMMS flag that you can set in the firmware that shows exactly what characters are being received, how the command is being built up etc. It adds a bit to the sketch size, so might not work on an UNO.

https://github.com/euphy/polargraph_server_a1/blob/master/polargraph_server_a1.ino#L82

Have you tried sending the message manually, through the serial monitor? You know you can't connect the serial monitor _and_ anything else at the same time? Serial monitor will block other connections.

Thank you! the 10 was the problem!

The page on github includes all the possible messages that can be sent to the machine?

Thank you

Aha that's good. No the page isn't comprehensive - the code itself is really the only documentation for the full range, you've got to dig in!

thank you!

I'll post a video of the finished project when it'll be ready! 😉
