Hi,
I’m very new to TouchDesigner and I was wondering how to best integrate hardware that isn’t supported in TD yet, for example Serial(RS232/RS485) or USB protocol based devices.
Taking a high baud rate RS485 device as an example, I’ve got a proof of concept using Python and pyserial to establish communication, however the more data I send the more the framerate drops. (I haven’t tried using the TD built-in Serial operators yet)
Having a quick look at the Wiki I’ve spotted the Custom OPs and C++ DAT sections.
Is that the most efficient way of integrating hardware with TD ?
What the recommended method and best practices ?
Thank you,
George
