Hi all,<br><br>We've been after some sensors for motion detection on the RPi and Martin Peach spotted these (thanks again Martin!)<br><br><a href="http://uk.farnell.com/omron-electronic-components/d6t-44l-06/sensor-thermal-mems-4x4/dp/2218000" target="_blank">http://uk.farnell.com/omron-electronic-components/d6t-44l-06/sensor-thermal-mems-4x4/dp/2218000</a><br>
<br>They're fairly new and I've not been able to find anything about anyone making use of them on the RPi as of yet (though after posting a question on the RPi forum I did note that Farnells stock went from 48 the 4 in three days, so maybe something soon eh?:).<br>
<br>I've got absolutely no idea what I'm doing with this so could do with some 'hand-holding'.<br><br>What I would much prefer would be to keep everything within Pd if possible...<br><br>1st off, and possibly dumb question - do we need [hid]? - My previous experience with xbee sensors did, so this is why I'm asking.<br>
<br>There are a few mentions of using python to get the data received on the Pi and then OSC'ing that into Pd but Miller mentioned on another thread<br>"gpio on the raspberry pi from within pd ?"<br>about writing an external to keep it within Pd. Any news/progress/tips on that front?<br>
<br>In the same thread Charles Goyard seems to have it working with [textfile], which seems far too simple (I'd very much like that if that was the case)<br><br>The sensor transmits the data as i2c but I haven't found anything in the archives particularly about anyone translating i2c directly in Pd yet?<br>
<br>We're going to fire the sensors up and see what happens in an hour or so and then come back to it tonight for a proper session so any and all pointers gratefully accepted.<br><br>I'll be back to let you know our 1st results soon.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br><br>Julian<br><br><br>
