I try to create a tablet interface to control max on a computer.

But I don't understand pak and unpack don't work fine.

But in all the patch, when I click on a button in the send subpatcher's, all the button are activated in the receive subpatcher's.

I try to separate in other port, but same thing, anarchy!

Hello,
I try to create a tablet interface to control max on a computer.
But I don't understand pak and unpack don't work fine.
Just "send" and "receive" work fine.
But in all the patch, when I click on a button in the send subpatcher's, all the button are activated in the receive subpatcher's.
I try to separate in other port, but same thing, anarchy!

All buttons are activated because you have set all arguments of 'pak' to '1'.

In the documentation (Max Comm Tutorial 3: UDP Networking) it's written:

"UDP isn’t the most robust protocol: it does not guarantee that packets will arrive in any order, nor does it provide any means of error or packet loss notification."

But it don't solve my problem.

Do you thing it could be the problem?


The problem is going to be with your network settings in some way. The patch works correctly on a local machine with the loopback IP (127.0.0.1).

UDP is an unreliable protocol, but the word 'unreliable' here mainly refers to the fact that the protocol doesn't include packet acknowledgement from the receiving device. You're not going to have any difficult using it over a small network.

So I don't understand, I've tried many things...

Now I will separate message into different ports, tedious but it looks working...

I don't think that different ports are really needed. You could still try to send the list as proper OSC message by prepending an address like /buttons, or send the list as single item converted eg. with tosymbol/fromsymbol.

I will continue to try to solve my problem.

Osc and touchosc look like a good way to realize my interface, next step to learning using Osc!

Ok thanks for UDP info,
I will continue to try to solve my problem.

in my exp udp has been reliable
try  to send messages  as  Osc tunnel
use   


Pak/Unpack and UdpSend/UdpReceive
