=================================== np_nifalcon Max/MSP and Pd External =================================== by Kyle Machulis <kyle@nonpolynomial.com> Nonpolynomial Labs - http://www.nonpolynomial.com Contributors: Edgar Berdahl http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~eberdahl/ =========== Description =========== np_nifalcon is an external for either Max/MSP or Puredata to control the Novint Falcon. It is based on libnifalcon: http://libnifalcon.nonpolynomial.com Portability of source between Max and Pd is available thanks to flext Max: http://www.cycling74.com Pd: http://www.puredata.info Flext: http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/ext/flext/ =========================== Novint Falcon Information =========================== More information about the Novint Falcon can be found at http://libnifalcon.sf.net ============ Installation ============ - Put the .mxo(Mac)/.mxe(Windows) or .pd_[platform] file in a directory that Max/Pd will search for externals (Max: Options -> File Preferences -> Other Folders, Pd: Options -> Paths) - Max: Put the .help (Max4) or .maxhelp (Max5) file in the max-help directory of your Max/MSP installation ========================= Platform Specifics Issues ========================= ------- Windows ------- - Make sure the falcon is directly connected to your machine, do not go through a USB hub. ---- OS X ---- - Use a powered USB hub between the falcon and your machine. ----- Linux ----- - Use a powered USB hub between the falcon and your machine. - np_nifalcon requires either root access (i.e. running pd under sudo) or correct udev based USB permissions to run as non-root. If you're using a udev based system, check out the udev sample files in the linux directory of the libnifalcon source distribution (v1.0 beta 1 and later) ========= Licensing ========= np_nifalcon is covered under the BSD License, but since it's based on flext, it's GPL.
