oscP5TD

A simple two-way OSC (Open Sound Control) communication demo between TouchDesigner and Processing using the oscP5 library.

This project demonstrates:

• Sending float values (e.g. slider values) from TouchDesigner to Processing.
• Sending interaction data (e.g. mousePressed events) from Processing to TouchDesigner.

Ideal for interactive installations, real-time control, and audiovisual experimentation.

🔌 OSC Communication Overview

Direction	Sender	Receiver	Port	Description
TD → Processing	TouchDesigner	Processing	12000	Sends float values (e.g. /v1)
Processing → TD	Processing	TouchDesigner	10000	Sends mouse X/Y on /mouseClick

🛠️ Setup Instructions

🌀 TouchDesigner

1. Open oscTDP5sendReceive.toe.
2. In OSC Out CHOP, set:
   • IP: 127.0.0.1
   • Port: 12000
3. In OSC In DAT, set:
   • Port: 10000
4. Run the network to start sending and receiving messages.

🎨 Processing

1. Open oscP5TDsendReceive.pde in Processing.
2. Install the oscP5 library:
   • Go to Sketch > Import Library > Manage Libraries...
   • Search for oscP5 by Andreas Schlegel
   • Click Install
3. Run the sketch.
   • It listens on port 12000 for messages from TD for the Slider Float value.
   • It sends 1/2 /mouseClick channels with messages of the X/Y coordinates to TD on port 10000.
