[PD] Using dual processor to manage 2 Pd at the same time

Can you clarify this a bit further?

What are the two things you want to sync? (Arduino and pd? No need for OSC
for that...but very do-able)

(your OS can tell you in which CPU a process is running, there are several
cmd tools in linux for that)


Best regards,
Pedro
