Using oscP5 with Buttons

Processing Libraries
1

Hi, I’d like to change the background color of the second sketch using buttons from the first one. I get them to talk to each other using mouse click back and forth, but I’m struggling to switch it to a button. I first started it out with just a mousePressed, but want to move it to buttons.

Here’s the code for the first Sketch

import oscP5.*;
import netP5.*;
import interfascia.*;
 
OscP5 oscP5Location2;
NetAddress location1;

GUIController c1;
IFButton b1, b2;
IFLabel l;

int c =0;
 
void setup() {
  size(400, 400);
  
   c1 = new GUIController (this);
  
  b1 = new IFButton ("Green", 30, 35, 60, 30);
  b2 = new IFButton ("Blue", 110, 35, 60, 30);

  b1.addActionListener(this);
  b2.addActionListener(this);

  c1.add (b1);
  c1.add (b2);
 
  oscP5Location2 = new OscP5(this, 6001);
  location1 = new NetAddress("127.0.0.1", 5001);
}
 
void draw() {
   background(255,c, 0);

}
 
void mousePressed() {  
  OscMessage myMessage = new OscMessage("/test");
 
  myMessage.add("Location 2: Transmit");
  myMessage.add(mouseX);
 
  oscP5Location2.send(myMessage, location1); 
  println("Sending message.");
  
}
 
void oscEvent(OscMessage theOscMessage, GUIEvent e) {  
  String incomingHeader = theOscMessage.get(0).stringValue();
  //int incomingMouseX = theOscMessage.get(1).intValue();
  int incomingButton1 = theOscMessage.get(1).intValue();
  
   if (e.getSource() == b1) {
    background(random(255),random(255),random(255));
  } else if (e.getSource() == b2) {
   background(100, 100, 130);
 }
 
  // print out the message
  print("OSC Message Received: ");
  println(incomingHeader + " " + incomingButton1);
}

This is the second sketch

import oscP5.*;
import netP5.*;
 
OscP5 oscP5Location1;
NetAddress location2;
 int c =0;
 
void setup() {
  size(400, 400);
 
  oscP5Location1 = new OscP5(this, 5001);
  location2 = new NetAddress("127.0.0.1", 6001);
}
 
void draw() {
   background(255,c, 0);

}
 
void mousePressed() {  
  OscMessage myMessage = new OscMessage("/test");
 
  myMessage.add("Location 1: Transmit");
  myMessage.add(mouseX);
  myMessage.add(mouseY);
 
  oscP5Location1.send(myMessage, location2); 
  println("Sending message.");
  
}
 
void oscEvent(OscMessage theOscMessage) {  
  String incomingHeader = theOscMessage.get(0).stringValue();
  int incomingMouseX = theOscMessage.get(1).intValue();

  if (mousePressed) {
    background(random(255),random(255),random(255));
  } else {
    background(255);
  }
  
  
  // print out the message
  print("OSC Message Received: ");
  println(incomingHeader + " " + incomingMouseX);
  c = incomingMouseX;

}

hi,

-a- i not see what example of INTERFASCIA button you follow?

-b- i would start with something symmetric
( between 2 computers ( using VNC i see both screens ) )

      int value = theOscMessage.get(0).intValue();
      print("### received an osc message /test with typetag i ");
      println(" value: "+value);
      if      ( value == 1 ) bg = color(0,200,200);
      else if ( value == 2 ) bg = color(200,0,200);
      else                   bg = color(200,0,0);
  }
}

hope that example helps, sorry just my first try of oscP5 and interfascia lib…

Thanks for trying. I’ll work on seeing if this helps, but it’s not on two different computers. It’s on the same computer, but two sketches are open.

I oscP5 file I’m working with is fromhere.

The button I’m using is from the examples in the interfascia lib.

I got it to work!!

Here’s the code I ended up using

Sketch 1

  oscP5Location1 = new OscP5(this, 5001);
  location2 = new NetAddress("127.0.0.1", 6001);
}

void setup_button() {
  c = new GUIController (this);  
  b1 = new IFButton ("send 1", 20, 15, 60, 30);
  b1.addActionListener(this);
  c.add (b1);
  b2 = new IFButton ("send 2", 20, 55, 60, 30);
  b2.addActionListener(this);
  c.add (b2);
}
 color bg;
void setup() {
  
  size(400, 400);
 bg = color(200);

  
  setup_osc();
  setup_button();
}
 
void draw() {
   background(bg);
  
}
void actionPerformed (GUIEvent e) {
  if (e.getSource() == b1) send(1);
  if (e.getSource() == b2) send(2);
}

void send(int num) {
 
  
  OscMessage myMessage = new OscMessage("/test");
  myMessage.add(num);
  oscP5Location1.send(myMessage, location2); 
  println("Sending message.");
  

}

void oscEvent(OscMessage theOscMessage) {
  print("### received an osc message.");
  print(" addrpattern: "+theOscMessage.addrPattern());
  println(" typetag: "+theOscMessage.typetag());
  if(theOscMessage.checkTypetag("i")) {

      int value = theOscMessage.get(0).intValue();
      print("### received an osc message /test with typetag i ");
      println(" value: "+value);
      if      ( value == 1 ) bg = color(0,200,200);
