Hello all,
I wanted to share back the Isadora world, OSC PIBOT, a new OSC <> robotics framework I and others recently developed for a series of public art projects, which allow Isadora to operate as a artist friendly unified control interface for the improvisational and performative use of robots that utilise either the iCreate bluetooth SDK or ROS2, as well as I2C based hardware running on Raspberry Pi's.
The ROS2 <> OSC interface is still in active development, but the interface for bluetooth based robot control I have now used in number of active projects, and we have just published the python framework as an open source tool.
The hope is that it can ease some of the burden for artists interested in working performatively with robotics, but who may not have the expertise to develop the code base needed to interface with a bluetooth or ROS2 based bot.
I'd welcome any / all questions or interest in collaboration on future development.
You can learn more about the framework and whats needed to use on our github repo:
https://github.com/thirtyseven...
I've also attached an example file for Isadora.
Best wishes all,
Ian
Hi I'm pretty sure this is doable but if anyone knows a simple solution please let me know!
I want to connect frequencies of sound in Ableton to rgb colours in Izzy for a project. The colours would be applied to objects, body tracking or visual images.
Many thanks,
David
Hello!
I'm currently trying to set up a Kinect 1414 that I have for the first time to make use of the OpenNI Tracker plugin and to do some skeleton tracking for a performer. However, I seem to have an issue that I suspect is related to my being on Windows 11. Whenever I plug in the Kinect, I get a pop-up saying that kinectcamera.sys cannot load, and when I check my devices the Kinect for Windows Camera driver appears to have a compatibility issue (Image 1). Then, when I try to run the OpenNI Tracker, it provides an interesting status of "wait valid frames," which is not detailed in the documentation for the output (Image 2). This behavior has been the same both when trying this using the v1.8 drivers as well as after uninstalling those and installing the v2 drivers.
My current assumption is that this is being caused by Windows 11 (I am currently on Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621) not being compatible with the driver since it is discontinued, and am wondering if anyone has dealt with or resolved a similar issue?
Any help would be appreciated!

I currently have a project that will require 4 projectors. So Im thinking to upgrade from my 3 year old M1 Mac Book Pro to a Mac Studio. Has anyone had any experience with these machines?
The project will be running multiple channels of Prores 4444 alpha video files - The files are 90% transparent. I was able to run up to 16 at a time on the MBP without a problem, although this with just one output at WXGA [correction WUXGA] resolution.

Hello everyone ! I use the particle system actor quite a bit. Now I am trying to create a particle system from a 3D object (.3ds) with the 3D player, since the 3d particle actor does not allow creating particles as if they were 3d objects. It allows manipulation in 3 dimensions but those particles are not 3D objects themselves.
I am using Texture Input Mapping to input my 3d object from the 3D Player. It works quite well but there are some deformations especially when the input of vertices is not correct. Maybe there is a better method to get what I'm looking for. I hope you understand my point
I'm interested in hearing about your experiences.
Thank you so much !

Hello everyone ! Is it possible to use multiple wireless cameras so that Isadora receives them? I tried with Iriun web cam and it only allows one camera at a time.
Is it a limitation of the application or is there another work around? Any experience and advice is very welcome.
Thank you very much !

I'm working on a a project where i will need to receive ARTnet from various Lightboards. Ma / Chamsys/ Hog/ Eos.
i managed to send from chamsys to ArtNetview , but have no idea how to receive ArtNet in Isadora.(the serial in watcher was set with a entice pro dongle) i need to trigger 1 - 72 DMX channels via a network cable!
How to ? Quite Urgent!! Thank for any advice.
Hello!
I am having difficulties with the use of 3D - Objekts. I am trying to import an Objekt, that i have animated in blender, into Isadora. I have already figured out, that the needed file format, seems to be ".3ds" (right?) but somehow the Objekts are not visible. I am using an online converter, to change the file, i don't know if this could be a reason? I am also pretty new to blender, but the used Object has been created within following a tutorial, so i don't really now what the problem might be.
I am happy for any help!

Hi everyone !
A student cannot remove the menu bar from the stage. He already went to Mission Control and unchecked the display option has separate spaces.
Ideas or suggestions? It is a Macbook pro 2019 Monterrey
Thanks a lot

Certainly I am missing something but I wanted to activate some scenes in the background of the playing picture but I haven't found a way except to do this inside a scene. What I want (as an example): Fade the background in under picture 1 to get picture 2:
1. 
2. 
It is possible to fade picture 1 on the background but not the background picture under the foreground. With the jump++ actor you can choose above, below, additive but not with the activate actor (only above, additive… why?) and it is not possible to choose anything with the deactivate actor. It is only additive which does not give a nice result if you activate the scene with "above" and then deactivate it. see gif.
As I said above a workaround is to make it in the scene but not always the best way. Is it a bug or is there a possibility to have this changed (above, below and additive for both actors "activate and deactivate") in a next version?
Best regards,
Jean-François
