OSC

Prototype

The modules are still under development. Hence these directions are only valid for protytpe testing. Note: some features are not yet implemented, and some are not mature yet.

Any feedback is welcome !

Configuring OSC first time can be tricky if your are not easy with network configs. Indeed, depending on which network, or security measures are set your machine or the network you are using, the data could potentially be blocked. First important thing is to connect through a wifi network you know or own, and has a standard config. Like a home wifi, or a wifi you setup yourself with a dedicated router. Typically, connecting to a public wifi, compagny/work wifi, guests wifi, etc... will likely not work. These usualy have non standard configuration, and complex configurations.

Basic OSC setup:

Preliminary:

1. connect your Pipo to the wifi, following the wifi manual
2. make sure the receiving PC is connected to the same wifi network

Tell Pipo to send the OSC data to your PC:

3. Find out what is the IP address of the destination machine (the computer which should receive the data). On mac, you can find it by going to you wifi settings,
4. Go on the Pipo config page and set this destination IP in the OSC section.
5. Note the data is sent to a spectific port. By default 8000. You will need it to tell your computer what port to listen to
6. Make sure OSC is enabled with the big toggle next to the OSC section title
7. Click save. Pipo is now sending the data over the network.

Note: changing network (or connecting directly to Pipo) will change the computer IP hence the destination should be updated as needed.

Receive the OSC data on your PC:

5. This is highly software depedent. Make sure your software listens from the right network interface.
6. Set the listening port to 8000 or the port that you set in the Pipo.

Troubleshooting

You can use the app called Protokol to monitor the incoming OSC data and check the connection is working.
