[PD] arduino question

[Pagano, Patrick]

Hi

I am using a PIR sensor with pduino playground and I have the sensor picking up movement. It's my first pd-arduino excursion so forgive the noobie-ness. When I get the out form the PIR sensor it give me a constant value of SOMETHING The entire time. It's output values range from 0.13-0.664/0.665 constantly. I just want to use the sensor to turn off/on a sample but the file is constantly being "banged" a value. How do I just out put an on/off based upon  this constant stream of Data? I tried select bit that does seem to be working.

It's a simple parallax PIR sensor and I have been having good luck getting usd to wiring and  the breadboard etc. but when I take the analog0 stream/port into pd I do not know how to control that data/

Any help?
