I have made an electronic drum-kit in Pure Data. By using an Arduino I am able to send data from the Arduino to Pure Data through the comport object. I am making a control panel in Pure Data and was looking for a way to show that Pure Data is connected to the Arduino. Right now I can only see it in the opening screen of Pure Data, but I would prefer that there is something visible shown inside the patch, if it is connected or closed. Is there a way to do this or do I just have to settle with it only being shown in the startup screen of Pure Data?

It's tough to answer this without more information, but here is something that might work for you:

[comport]
 |     |
      [route open]
       |
      [toggle]

Toggle will be read 1 [X] if the port is open, and 0 [ ] if it's closed or lost, but there will be a slight delay.

It would be helpful to know more about your patch, especially how you are pulling data via comport. It seems that you'd like a connection indicator because you are having connectivity issues, and if that is the case, you should definitely address that issue first.
