I am able to run the canvas example -- and it works -- in Firefox but when I try to use the FireBug plugin (to debug my own code), after a few touches the error I get is
"ongoingTouches[idx] is undefined" in line 106.
Continuing over that error results in further errors that relate to the ongoingTouches array (lines 128, 499, etc.)

Interestingly this does not happen with FireBug closed, but it would be nice to be able to use it with Caress.

I´ve tried to use a leapmotion to control a d3js visualization, but it always gets an error because the standard port of leapmotion 6437 is blocket and I cant run the server properly. So have you an idea how this could be solved? I have to use touch events because d3js support only mouse our touch and no leapmotion or other new input methods.

I am installing a certain NodeJS script - Caress. But i am not unable to. I am using Windows 8.1, can anyone tell me what is the problem i am facing, and why is this installation not working. There seems to be a problem with the buffertools dependency, thats far as i can think. Dont know how maybe fix this?

If i download the build from github and place it in node-modules, nothing seems to work. when i try to start, using npm start, or during implementation either.

G:\nodejs\node_modules\caress-server>npm install

G:\nodejs\node_modules\caress-server>npm start

> [email protected] start G:\nodejs\node_modules\caress-server

I can get the server running, but as soon as I actually send TUIO data, I get the following error (as printed in terminal). Thanks for any help and I am sure that this will be amazing software when I get it working.

Is it possible to swap and X and Y input? My device runs in portrait mode therefore i want to swap the x and y input.

http://www.ractiv.com/index.html looks pretty interesting. Basically it can make any surface multi touch.

Tried launching both ways, using npm start as well as calling directlynode server.js. Same error.

I get this error at random times with the PQ Labs G4S 2-point. I can't replicate this reliably but it can happen several times an hour.

How can I help debug this error?

I can's start up the server.js after I installed caress-server with

is it something with caress-server, or with socket.io?

Hi, trying to start the server on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9 it crash with those logs:

On the Buffer Node's documentation i found that they have no "clear" method.
I hope you will fix this issue soon.
