Hi people
I guess this is frequently asked before, I know bela doesn't support openGL so means I can not run Pure Data GEM on bela, so what is the way to load image and video to Bela as arrays? what I exactly wanna do is just to scan read each pixel from one jpg and then feed it to a phasor~, then to dac~, it's very simple.

ps: As I only know how to work with Max/msp therefore I am using "cyclone" a lot, which allow me use some max object in pd, i wonder is cyclone compatible with Bela too, thanks.

cheers.

Hello,
I just tried to build cyclone on Bela, but it fails because it relies on the latest version of Pd, while the one on Bela is two versions behind, so I will have to update that before you can use it.
As for reading jpegs, I think it would be overkill to try to install gem just for that. One option would be to use some other program on your computer (e.g.: GNU octave, which is free) to import a jpeg and convert it to a wave file that you can then open in Pd.
