Absolute beginner, first Max/Msp patch help sought.

Projects General Guidance
1

In the learning/exmples of arduino in communication there is an experiment called "graph"
I have searched for help high and low on the internet for assistance. The
Max/Msp part of the program only reopens as text rather than as an interface to use for the experiment

I'm using the latest Max/Msp runtime version. So have pasted the max patch, saved as txt and tried opening with max but alas!. This may have other question/replies within the forums but I cannot find it or really know how to look through the items posted to search. I've attached the patch as I understand it should be.

I'd really appreciate a bit of guidance. Thank you
Will

Please explain:
What exact "graph" project? TFTgraph?
What's Max/Msp?
Your patch looks like it should be a file (resource script), read by a display program?

Thanks for the link. I don't know anything more about Max/MSP, try yourself to find a forum for that software.

Hi wtb,

Your textworks in Max 7, which is what I have.

  1. Copy the text into the clipboard
  2. Open Max. (I'm not sure if you can use the runtime, but you can use the
    full Max without a license, you just can't save.)
  3. In Max do "File..."; "New from clipboard..."
  4. A window should appear with your patch.
  5. Click the lock icon in the lower-left corner

I haven't hooked it up to an arduino yet, but it looks like it should work.

Jimmy,

Thanks so much for responding to my question. I downloaded the full program and it instantly sorted out my problem. I really appreciate your assistance. I've attached the file and it has the functioning switches and graph window. The run-time Max version must run files but not compile them as you figured. I'd been trying to get this happening for weeks!

Thanks again Will
