Is there any way we can send custom UDP strings with M8

Alex

. a quick test of ' import socket' in a module didn't generate an error, so you probably could...

. so, maybe a module based on some of the code from here? - http://wiki.python.org/moin/UdpCommunication

I have no experience in programing, so i can not do this even with the help you gave.

Can any one do this for me?

Press a key and send a pre defined UDP string.

Thanks

It depends on what you want to do. I tried quickly to modify the Network (global) module and used an iPhone app called UDP_Test to receive the message. This worked while I was on the same network. I tried modifying it so I was going outside the network but that didn't work for me.

Yes iv used the same app to check communication on the same network.

I have M8 and WO on the same network.
M8 and WO display pc are inside a studio, M8 is doing a LED ticker and WO driving 3 LCD wall.

WO production computer is in the regie and acts as master for all the displays, including M8. Im using the Network (global) module to receive strings from the WO and change things around.

Now I need to connect a master cue or perfect cue to control cues in a time line of WO, because the production computer is in a different room an RF signal can not get there, my plan is to use M8 to send back UDP strings to WO and change the cues.

Master cue or Perfect cue are like a keyboard to the Mac or PC. So I need a module that when a key is pressed sends a UDP string too a certain IP and port on my network.
This IP will be the WO production pc.

I hope I'm clear.

Ok, PM me your email and I'll send you a modified version of the Network module.
We'll just have to see if I understood you correctly.

Great,

Thanks for the support.
