Subscribe for OSC status updates

[smadds]

Definitely an enhancement request, but maybe wider use than just mine?

Having got the Pedalino Mini to send OSC commends to my device over UDP I would love to get back the true status of the item being controlled - that way if it is changed on the device a local LED can be kept in sync.

To do this I need to regularly send a subscribe command to the device (every 10 seconds), so would need to have a button type that repeats sending every {defined number} of seconds.

It would also need to be able to link an LED to an incoming OSC path and set the colour based on the definable values returned.

For the X32 mixer I am controlling this is described well in the protocol document - Page 77 here

Getting on really well with this code and OSC commands - especially with TTGO board with the lovely colour display.

Would you have any time to look at an auto repeating button type that could send a message every defined period, @alf45tar ?

[alf45tar]

A pedal can repeat a message every defined period using REPEAT PRESSED event.

Use a latch pedal and add an action triggered on REPEAT PRESSED.

Set the repeat interval in Options under Repeat Press Time.

Thanks for getting back to me @alf45tar
Does this mean I need to have a physical latched button in order to start this off? It would be really good if it just started on its own when the bank with the action is selected. That's why I was wondering whether there could be a button type defined that would pulse at a given period

[alf45tar]

Right now it is the only solution without any code change.
You can replace the latch button with a wire between the corresponding digital pin and GND.

Wire link sounds like a good workaround!

I'm not able to get the /subscribe to work yet, and I suspect it's because the system is always sending the min/max value as an integer on the end of the OSC command. Unfortunately there are quit a lot of commands that don't need this.

The documentation shows this command as
/subscribe ,si /ch/01/mix/on 2

so, taking a string and then an integer (for update rate). The nearest I can get is by setting the OSC command to
/subscribe ,s /ch/01/mix/on

and the min/max to 2, which gives an output of
/subscribe ,s /ch/01/mix/on~,i~~[ 2]

Unfortunately this is not acceptable to the X32.

Is there any way of inhibiting sending the integer value at the end?

[alf45tar]

Not at the moment. In the new version if Min = Max no value will be sent.

[smadds]

That's great - patience then!

The /subscribe will allow the mixer to send status updates just when the status changes. Is there a way of parsing these incoming messages to change an LED colour?

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem with a x32
