I have created a simple windows app that checks the audio level of a source on the computer and sends that as an ASCII value to datalinq a couple times each second. In my scene I want to make that value representative on a quad so it is like a moving audio level for our phone presenters.
I would like to do this in Visual logic, but I cannot find a way to make the datalinq value into an integer which I can then work with. Instead it remains a string and I am unable to perform any math functions on it. I have tried this by using the datalinq visual logic box and also by using a text field that is tied to the datalinq.
Is there a Cint() type of thing for visual logic? Any other ideas as to best make use of this?
