create a pipein CHOP and toggle the "Originate" and the "Allow Incoming Scripts" parameter on
then open the python command line application
type
- Code: Select all
import socket
mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM )
mySocket.connect ( ( 'localhost', 7000 ) )
so now you have a connection to the touchin CHOP on port 7000
To actually sent data to touch, you have to follow the protocol detailed in
TouchDesignerPro.077\touch\docs\pipe\pipe_example\protocol.txt
Remember that you need to include a terminating null: \0
for example:
- Code: Select all
mySocket.send('names foo bar \0')
creates two channels named "foo" and "bar".
- Code: Select all
mySocket.send('slice 1 2 \0')
will put a value of 1 into foo channel and 2 into bar channel
- Code: Select all
mySocket.send('script confirm fromPython \0')
will bring up a dialog box
Finally, you need to close the socket
- Code: Select all
mySocket.close()
not sure if you need to send this before closing the socket
- Code: Select all
mySocket.send('disconnect \0')
