Hi,

What I want to do is really simple, but despite having searched everywhere and watched loads of Max MSP tutorials I can't work out how to send integers/float numbers to Max from Processing.

I know that in Max you can use a 'bang' to trigger an event. This could for example to be to add one or decrease one to a number variable. However, I can't seem to do this in Max.

Thanks and apologies for the basic level of question.

The color picker example shows how do to this.



Code:

import maxlink.*;

// set the background color from Max
// jkriss ~ 28 july 2004
// updated 21 april 2005 for Processing 0085

// Open "color picker.pat" in the MaxLink examples folder 
// to control the color.

MaxLink link = new MaxLink(this,"color_sketch");

// these must be public
public float r,g,b;

void setup() {
  size(250,250);
  link.declareInlet("r");
  link.declareInlet("g");
  link.declareInlet("b");
}

void draw() {
  background(r,g,b);
}
