StickOS and OSC

[Brutus Gates]

Hi,

Does anyone know if you can send OSC in StickOS? I'm not clear on that...

I know the older CUI had that feature, but is was probably an embedded C function. I'm hoping that StickOS can make sending OSC easy...

Also, anyone know what StickOS *can't* do, that the old CUI could? And will the old functionality be ported into StickOS?

Hi Brutus,

There are several things the old CUI did, that will be compiled for the new CUI32 eventually - these are mainly based on Microchip's examples in MAL (the "Microchip Application Libraries" - http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&... ), and include things such as:

USB Device - Audio - Microphone
USB Device - Audio - MIDI
USB Device - Bootloaders
USB Device - CDC - Basic Demo
USB Device - CDC - Serial Emulator
USB Device - HID - Custom Demos
USB Device - HID - Digitizers
USB Device - HID - Joystick
USB Device - HID - Keyboard
USB Device - HID - Mouse

etc, etc....

But your question about OSC remains unanswered by this - OSC on the old CUI was firmware written by Andy Schmeder at U.C. Berkeley's CNMAT ( http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/ ), and I'm not sure if he plans on compiling "microOSC" ( http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/research/uosc ) for the CUI32 or not.

One thing that might be fairly simple to get wireless OSC via 802.11, would be to connect the CUI32 to one of these "WiFly" modules:

and then use StickOS to send UDP or TCP data to your host computer. The BASIC code in StickOS could either conform with OSC's required format (padded to multiples of 4-bytes, etc), or just send raw network data in whatever format you want (I haven't tried doing this myself yet, but it seems interesting)!

Cheers,
Dan

There are some examples of how to use a "WiFly" wireless 802.11 module to send OSC from StickOS in the PDF file linked to in this post:
