np_nifalcon is an external for either Max/MSP or Puredata to control the Novint Falcon. It is based on libnifalcon:
Portability of source between Max and Pd is available thanks to flext

Put the .mxo(Mac)/.mxe(Windows) or .pd_[platform] file in a directory that Max/Pd will search for externals (Max: Options → File Preferences → Other Folders, Pd: Options → Paths)
-
Max: Put the .help (Max4) or .maxhelp (Max5) file in the max-help directory of your Max/MSP installation

Make sure the falcon IS NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO YOUR MACHINE. ONLY CONNECT THROUGH A POWERED USB HUB.

np_nifalcon requires either root access (i.e. running pd under sudo) or correct udev based USB permissions to run as non-root. If you’re using a udev based system, check out the udev sample files in the linux directory of the libnifalcon source distribution (v1.0 beta 1 and later)
