How about a OSC Sketch ?

[r2d2]

Hi,
I would love to see a OSC server implemented on this platform, I'm not feeling confident enough to start with this myself, but I'm quite sure it would be a great feature to have. With all the osc software for the iphone etc that would make us all fast up and running controlling the arduino.

This is definitely something that's on our radar. We also want to take a look at just doing iPhone app development in general (I've put in a request to get in the developer's program).

does anyone have an update on the osc situation ?

i am made a small iphone app with openframeworks that sends data with OSC via wifi. It would be great now control an arduino with this setup.

there is a udp sketch and osc is based on udp right ?

hope someone more knowledgeable have some solutions.

I just found this OSC library for Arduino with Ethernet shield.
I am wondering if this could be used to make OSC work on the wiShield.

stephanschulz,
have you had any luck integrating and of these OSC arduino libs with WiShield?
thanks, spacehippy matt pinner

I'm quite interested in this also !

sorry, i have nothing.
it would be great if the wishield developers would put out a library for that.
it would open up the wishield to a large group of people.

cheers, stephan.

it would be great if the wishield developers would put out a library for that.

Or a user could do this! Think of the accolades (and following support nightmares) that would follow! WiServer is a great example of this; its not an AsyncLabs work, rather a work provided by a user who saw a need. Now it is distributed with the AsyncLabs libraries and has helped out a lot of users. It has also created a support nightmare as it does have some limitations and there are users who want it to work in ways that the original author never considered.

The whole idea of "open source" is to take something that is already there (or not) enhancing it and giving back to the community. I'd take a look at OSC but don't currently have a need for it. But in reality OSC (from my limited research) is a fairly simple text based protocol.

I am almost ready to start the "OSC challenge" where users would be challenged to write an OSC library and the best submission would win an AsyncLabs product (at my expense). I'll also make it clear that I am not affiliated with AsyncLabs - other than being a user who thinks their products are really cool!

Think the "OSC challenge" is a good idea? Ready to prove your chops? Then follow up and we can talk about it!

hey
I totally agree with you.
I mentioned the wishield developers because i assumed they are very smart and knowledgeable in wishield matters.

I would pitch in for the contest. maybe the winner would get a blackwidow board.

i am currently figured out how to use my ipod's serial port and connect it to an arduino. this stopped my search for a wishield wifi solution, but it would be great to see how osc would compare.

regards,
stephan.

Excellent! Lets keep this thread going and see if we can come up with a great OSC solution!
