The goal of this experiment was to test the viability of OSC over a Wifi Network and familiarise myself with UDP over a local network.

The code used for this test was from the CNMAT library. https://github.com/CNMAT/OSC

The example was tested with the help of an ESP32-S3 feather.

Step 1 was establishing a connection between the Router and the ESP32 and figuring out the IP address of the device.

The first test was to send a message from the ESP32 through UDP over the network to another device on the same network, on the channel path /test with a message “Hello, OSC”

The message was then received on Touch Designer using the OSC In DAT.

Protokol was used to debug and make sure messages were passing on the right port and IP address.

A key point in this test was making sure the ports and IP are mapped correctly.

The Second Test was to Receive a message from an external device to an ESP32 over the network with the help of UDP.
