[PD] Motion Detection Strategies - Gem

[Alexandre Castonguay]

Hi again,

You have to get the cvs version for GridFlow to use the lti objects. You
can find the info here : http://gridflow.ca.  I have a logitech camera
(quickcam 4000) that is supported by http://saillard.org.  For the usb
wireless adaptor I am not sure.

Once your network access is configured, you can get a lot of help to
install and run pd (+ GridFlow) from irc.freenode.net, channel #dataflow.

Good luck,

Alexandre
