Pure data external for the Helios Laser DAC
0.1
note - it's not presently possible to have more than 1 helios object open.
pd_helios currently builds on MacOS, tested on Mojave (OSX v10.14). It builds on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 but I haven't got it to work - using a VM, don't know if this is the issue. It should work on Microsoft Windows with the appropriate libusb library.
Clone this repo and the source code to pure data
git clone [email protected]:timredfern/pd_helios.git
git clone https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data
cd pd_helios
make PDINCLUDEDIR=../pure-data/src/
(or wherever you cloned pure data)
To test the example patch:
pd help-helios.pd
(from wherever you have installed Pd. For the Purr-data distribution of Pd, I used this:)
/Applications/Pd-l2ork.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs help-helios.pd
Install libusb from Homebrew
First follow these instructions: https://brew.sh/
Then:
brew install libusb
