[TouchOSC] How to format the data string for sending OSC msg (to mobile device)

by Mirek

Feb 14, 2015

Hello!
Im tyring to send a correct data string to TouchOSC on my android (kitkat).

So far I have a working communication in both direction (the status signal of TouchOSC at least is showing it).

Getting OSC msg from TouchOSC to GH works perfect.

Sending OSC msg to TouchOSC device in contrast is not having an effect on the TouchOSC "faders" or "LED"s (except showing that there is some kind of incoming data with the status signal).

So Im wondering how to format the data string to be sent?

I also tried firefly but the only way to controll a TouchOSC "led" within firefly is a slider in GH, which is so far a poor solution since you may not controll an led manually.

    I analysed what the UDP (OSC) component is sending.
    Here is my result:
    The red part shows whats happend when gHowl is sending an OSC msg.
    Is this going to be fixed or is somebody still working on this plugin?

    Best,

      I'm having similar issues. I can receive data into GH from TouchOSC no problem. But sending information back is another story.

      I am trying to feed grasshopper data into a custom label on my OSC interface.  I've set up the UDP Sender similar to what Mirek shows above, and I've also tried Firefly's OSC Sender and various other ways of formatting the data before sending, such as concatenating the label address and data.  So far, nothing has worked.

      It's beginning to seem like it may actualy be an issue with the label's preferences, as set up in the OSC Editor (see below).  I wonder if there is a specific way we need to set up the preferences in order for the label to accept incoming data.  This is just a theory, although playing around with it has not yet yielded any results.
