Greetings all,

I'm just trying to begin to understand how to use netsend and netreceive objects between two computers to transmit OSC messages (needs to be using PD vanilla for this project).

I'm still very much learning networking, so am trying to limit myself to a basic example. But when I try these to patches, the one running the send patch bring up the messages:

recv: Connection refused (61)
netsend: Bad file descriptor (9)

Warning: 19 removed from poll list but not found.

Can someone help me to understand these errors, and then what to do to get these patches to talk to each other?

The overall plan is to get get wireless control over a RPI running PD, and control it using PdParty on IOS.

boom_send_01.pd

boom_receive_01.pd

@toddak That works just fine with both patches on the same computer...... talking through "localhost" which translates to the ip address 127.0.0.1 which is the internal address of that device.
If you are talking across a local network between devices you need to know their ip addresses.
Generally it is best to fix them so that they do not change at boot time.
Give each device a different static address (turn of dhcp in the network adapter settings for the device).
You should use addresses on the same subnet that are outside the dhcp range of your router.
Look at the webpage for your router (a Google will help as usual).
So if the router sets dhcp addresses in the range 192.168.50 - 192.168.1.100 then use 192.168.1.101 etc.
If the router sets 10.0.0.50 -10.0.0.100 then set 10.0.0.101
Then you set [netsend] to send to the device you want..... so say [connect 192.168.1.101 3000(
where 3000 is the port on that device.
To send to another device you can use port 3000 again if you wish, as it is on a different device. Otherwise to send to the same device you would need to use say 3001 for a second [netsend]

@whale-av that makes a lot of sense, and feels kind of obvious now you say it out loud

Seems to be working fine now, next step is to try and get it to work with PdParty!
