Trouble implementing jit.net.recieve and udprecieve
Hello,
I'm new to Max and I'm working on a patch to use motion tracking data to control synth parameters. I'm hoping to use OSC for this, so I've been testing with ZigSimPro on my iPhone to send data via UDP or TCP to my Mac.
I'm having a very hard time getting any data to output from jit.net.recieve and udp recieve. I have seen many video tutorials on this topic, and am beginning to suspect that perhaps the port numbers I've tried (dozens) are occupied, but given how many I've tried, this seems somewhat unlikely.
Anyone running into similar issues using M4L? Am I missing something simple? Maybe these objects just aren't the best tools for the job?
Thanks!
Hello James!
Im not familiar with ZigSim but it looks like an interesting tool. Thanks for sharing, I'll give it a try.
Whenever I use any data over the network for projects I find that the networking setup is the clue to many problems.
So first both devices should be connected to the same network and each should have a unique IP address either by manual setup or by DHCP.
Apparently on the ZigSim documentation you have to set the IP address of the receiver of the data, so your computer. And I would first try OSC as “message format”.
Then on your Max patch just try 3333 as a port number (same as the port on the Zig app) and check input with a print object. Very simple patch but a solid start:
