Eos Macro Send_String function not working with USB OSC

Hi,

I've been experimenting with the #lighthack Arduino project.

I want to send an OSC command from an Eos macro to the arduino.

The macro is just 'Send_String /led1/on' (with the line termination symbol).

When I run this macro I can see in the diagnostics tab that the OSC message has been sent as well as /eos/out/event/macro/1

The SLIP library on the arduino see's two packets. The first one I believe is caused by the Phil Karn packet initializer as it has a message length of 0. The second packet is the /eos/out/event/macro/1.

The /led1/on packet is never received.

I've also tried sending the string as an execution on a cue, that has the same issue.

Has anyone managed to get this to work?

Many thanks for your help in advanced.

Cheers

I believe that send strings by default sent over UDP to the ip address in the osctxip. OSC over USB is fairly new and I don't think initiating commands from the console has been dealt with. The device will get subscribed events and anything responding to transmissions from the device. I have been able to use the send string previously on networked arduino devices.

Yes I can see those strings appearing as UDP packets on the network.

It does look like there is a function call missing somewhere that ought to direct those messages to the USB port.

You may want to test it also with a direct Magic Sheet OSC command rather than a macro.

That's a good idea. I'll let you know if it is successful or not tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the messages generated by this command only outputted as UDP OSC packets.

Nothing at all gets sent down the USB OSC route to the arduino.

I haven't had a chance to play with this but one question. In your arduino sketch are you subscribing/filtering? If so this may be affecting what Eos sends to the device... Not sure how far down that rabbit hole they have coded. I know you can filter down what gets sent over USB but not sure if that would change specified osc transmits from console. I will try to play with this tonight when I have a console available.

Hi, whilst trying to prove this issue I did experiment with filters. I think they are great concept but most of my testing didn't have any filters applied.

I've not looked at any of the subscription functions.

Thanks for looking into this.
