PJLink Video projector basic control with OSC remote capability

Hi there, I'd like to share with you this little patch that I made, based on the patch from this post from user Yopla: https://cycling74.com/forums/sharing-http-control-of-a-panasonic-projector

I made this patch for a show were I was working on. I needed to control shutters for video projectors all at the same time.
This patch gives control on power On and Off of the projectors and control over shutters in single mode, per projector, and global.
Shutters commands can be remoted by any OSC enabled server, via localhost or remote computer. I used this to program the shutters to open and close, using Millumin to send OSC commands on specific cues.
You can name the projectors and change ip addresses. It has also a preset manager to store values and those can also be recalled via OSC.
I tested it working with Optoma projectors (without mechanical shutters, only digital video mute) and Panasonic projectors (with mechanical shutters).
I assume it will work with every PJLink capable device.

I'm not an experienced Max user so, if anybody likes to suggest ways to make the patch more fluent and efficient is very wellcome.

Hope that it turns handy for somebody.
Cheers
Igor

There is a part included in the main patch as a bpatcher. I don't know if from the compressed copy still works. To be sure I attach it as another compressed patch.
It sends the On OFF commands to the projectors.
