OSC Receiver and Sender

[faxinadu]

actually i say keep it, might serve a function for the future!

btw i have the perfect device to try this on in a real world situation... but it is part of a commercial pack, do you allow me to try? of course i will send it to you for free

Any thoughts on my earlier question about where to store the OSC port number? I could easily create a dedicated preferences file for it, which might be safest. I think it's misleading to have it as an input to the module, as it can only be one value across all devices.

maybe keep it as a pad, but have it initialize to 8000

will if we are keeping port as a parameter couldn't we just have each useage of it provide a port entry option for the user? so each device that embeds this will have to pull a text fader to the panel where the user sets the ports, and that's it no? takes care of multiple instances and everything i think.

[faxinadu]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah lol sorry im getting too excited - port won't do on the broadcasting side, since it will be broadcasting on 1 port nevermind, just curious. so yes i get the reasons behind the setup now, i'm in if you go for what you described

Try this new version out: Scope DLL

The main reasons not to allow individual ports per device/instance:
- Will create firewall pain every time a new port is used. At the moment users will need to enable the relevant port once ever.
- It's inefficient in the module to have multiple instances of the OSC Receiver object, as the architecture neatly supports multiple listeners on the same port. It would drive up memory usage to have one per device/instance

See how you get on with patching this version. I think it's pretty easy to use.

As an example, I passed 1, 10001 and 1 into the 3 inputs and was able to control values by passing messages with addresses /1/10001/1/x

We can agree that Ocean Swift gets the Device UID range from 10000 to 19999 as an early adopter benefit (when you've build more than 10,000 devices we'll give you a new range!)

[w_ellis]

Oh, and of course I'm happy for you to try this out in one of your devices. We'll need to do some digging about licensing, but I'm sure there's ways to sort it out.

awesome give me 10 minutes ill post here my test tool and a conversion module for scope that takes the integers and converts them to int32 (what scope knobs usually like)

[w_ellis]

I've just finished the first version of the Sender, which you can find here: Scope DLL

Seems to work inside the SDK. Will be interested if anyone gets time to point the sender outside, especially to a different PC. Note that you can set a different Port + Host per instance of the sender, as there's no problem with having many instances of that (compared to listen ports for receiving).

Here's an animated gif showing it in action!

Let me know if it's not clear what all the parameters mean. I'll probably not be able to do much coding until early Jan, when I get back from Munich.

P.S. I spoke with Faxi over WhatsApp and clarified that you can pass full int32 values over the OSC messages, so no need to scale them. I think that's the best use of the protocol and then scale for display at either end.

.I'd put the relevant data in an ini-file (own or cset). And don't forget to do initiate another module as receiver, if the 1st one is deleted.

[faxinadu]

for the sender can there be a generic version with no ids? so with scope one could control anything that accepts osc.

[faxinadu]

confirmed sender works here on same pc, tomorrow will test more

Not totally sure what you're looking to achieve, but perhaps you could try using broadcast addresses? See here for details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet ... p-services

Yeah, the ScopeOSCReceiver is used as a reference counted object shared between all instances of the loaded dll, which will be created if it doesn't already exist

Big progress on android app, core technology is set up and working!

Impressive.
Look forward to more controls for real time parameter modulation.

the scope side update is almost ready too
