- Optional, if you want to use an Arduino, download the Arduino software : http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. Plug the USB board, install drivers if required, and upload the "StandardFirmata" sketch from the Arduino software : Menu File > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata
## Installation and startup
1. Download the software: http://reso-nance.org/malinette/en/download
2. Extract anywhere
3. Open the "MALINETTE-en.pd" patch for English people and "MALINETTE-fr" for French People.
4. Clic on "? Help" or "? Aides" button if needed
5. Open examples to see how it works
3. Open the "MALINETTE.pd"

## User instructions
You have two windows : the menu on the left, and the project on the right (a "patch" in Pure Data).

You have helps in the main patch, see the "?" button and you can find some documentations in the "./docs" folder.

## Contents
- ./abstractions : all abstractions (in, out, filters, audio, video, numbers and master)
- ./data : media files (images, videos, sounds, etc.)
- ./docs : some documentations (license, todo, changes) and helps
- ./examples : examples patchs to show and edit projects about interaction
- a yellow toggle to switch on/off the abstraction
- a toggle to switch on/off the abstraction
- when an extra object is used from pd-extended, put the library as a prefix. Ex: [tof/menubutton] (to discuss)
- if they are more than 2 or 3 inlets, a good practice would be to use the cold inlet (on the right) to pass messages throught it and route them with a [route] object.
## Files formats (video, audio, 3d etc..)
Video : best format for video files (better performance in pd) is MJPEG, this compression is better packed in .avi for windows // .mov for mac.
Audio : Pure Data audio object use .aiff or .wav, except some librairies which use mp3 (malinette do not have mp3 player yet.).
3d: .obj is the right 3d-model-file you can import in Pure Data, you can create .obj from most of 3D software (like blender for instance).
