So I went through the whole gamma of downloading and opening, to my surprise it was just an empty window as a controller. So yep Im now re installing the older version because, smart me deleted it before trying the new. But anyone have a fix for this? I have a show on Saturday and would love to show off the webcam gig.

Thanks in advance !

Hi Chris and Sandy,

I got it "partly" working using controller 1.62 on my MAC Pro Mountain Lion 10.8.3 using Processing 1.5.1. Problem on the MAC is that there is a issue with the 64bit java so that the webcam part do not run. Quick workaround for me (I don't use the webcam feature right now) was to comment some lines in the polargraphcontroller file (polargraphcontroller.pde):

Comment out: Line 580 - 593

// try
// {
// String[] cameras = Capture.list();
// if (cameras.length > 0) {
// liveCamera = new Capture(this, 640, 480, cameras[0]);
// //liveCamera.start();
// webcamEnabled = true;
// }
// }
// catch (Exception e)
// {
// println("Exception occurred trying to look for attached webcams. Webcam will not be used. " + e.getMessage());
// webcamEnabled = false;
// }

and add:
webcamEnabled = false;
right after the commented part.

Now it should run (compiling was never an issue). @Sandy maybe you want to add a switch and disable the webcam feature by default. This would at least ensure that the controller runs w/o the cam.
Hope this helps
Mike
