Hey all;

I was hoping someone could help me figure out what's going wrong.
I've a Kinect hooked up to my computer and am running Synapse to get OSC info to Pure Data.

I'm having issues with receiving the info into PD.

I've the following:

[dumpOSC 12345]
|
[route /leftelbow_pos_screen]
|
[unpack f f f]
|
(3 number boxes)

However I'm not getting any data through.
If I add a [print] to the [dumpOSC] i get the following:

print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /leftelbow right
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /torso forward
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /leftknee left
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /leftfootleft
print: /tracking_skeleton 1
print: /tracking_skeleton 1

This kind of thing repeatedly but nothing in the number boxes coming from the unpack.

I'm really lost here.

I've looked at the following bits to see if what's on screen in these work for me, but no joy yet.

Anyone have any advice please?

Check your documentation for Synapse. I don't know it off the top of my head but the developer decided not to continually send all of the skeleton data all of the time to prevent the possibility of lost packets. You have to poll synapse every few seconds to continue sending its OSC data of a specific joint. I don't remember where I read this but it is definitely in the Synapse documentation, maybe on the website.

you could also try

[mrpeach/udpreceive 12345]
|
[mrpeach/unpackOSC]

I finally got it

For people in future who have the same issue as me, it seems that you need to be sending OSC data back to Synapse.

So:

[x]
|
[metro 2000]
|
[send /righthand_trackjointpos 1(
|
| [connect localhost 12346(
| /
|/
[sendOSC]

As well as:

[dumpOSC 12345]
|
[route /leftelbow_pos_body]
|
[unpack 1 2 3]
|
(3 number boxes)

I've finally got it, and here's my results (with a very basic PD synth):
