Re: [Libnifalcon-devel] OSC and the falcon

[Stephen S. <rad...@gm...>]

heh, personally I would concentrate on the API and let people scratch
their own itches for building OSC interfaces. :)

But a simple program with LibLo would take a few seconds to write.

Well, here, I attached one.

But people should be aware that putting OSC in the middle of the
haptics servoloop is a really abysmal way to do things.  It's never
going to be fast enough for haptic feedback, and it seems Pd for
example doesn't particularly enjoy getting OSC messages 1000 times /
second.

What you _really_ want instead is a way to control a haptics loop that
is running in a separate process.  Which is why I wrote Dimple,
http://idmil.org/software/dimple

(I'll soon be adding libnifalcon support..)

notes, this program takes arguments:

./falcon_osc --host <client_host> --port <client_port> --listen_port
<server_port>

Sends /falcon/position messages 1000 times/second (on a good day), and
sets force when it receives /falcon/force.  Both messages have 3 float
arguments for x, y, z.
