Hi,

yesterday, I played with networking support in PD. The resulting patch allowed me to display text, that I typed in my cellphone. The idea is like this: I have a Jabber client application. I have a user, that I can send messages to. Simple perl script connects to jabber server, receives a message and translates it into PD control protocol, that is then received from the patch.

The patch is here:



The netreceive 3001 box listens on port 3001 for commands (ended by ;). It sends them on outlet. The simplest thing to do is to simply connect it to text3d box to control it, but you can connect it to the send patch and then receive on various places (so you can even control rotation and everything else).

Then the jabber connector, can be downloaded here. This script connects to jabber server and to port 3001.

Questions welcome :).
