I am trying to use FlowStone's Client component to read OSC messages from an Emotiv EPOC via Mind Your OSCs, but am having some trouble.

Mind Your OSCs is configured for 127.0.0.1:7400. Here is my test client configuration:



When I leave IP blank, I can send/receive messages to/from the Server component (which defaults to 192.168.2.3), but nothing is retrieved from Mind Your OSCs. If I specify IP 127.0.0.1, the client log returns, "Could not connect to server."

I have verified that Mind Your OSCs is transmitting over 127.0.0.1:7400, by creating a UPD client in Processing.

Any ideas? I would love to create and share a working FlowStone module for the EPOC. I have successfully created "mind-controlled" robots using EPOC + OSC + Processing + Arduino. I could create a server outside of FS, to forward OSC messages to FS over another IP, but for obvious reasons I prefer to connect directly between FS and Mind Your OSCs.

Thank you,
Joshua

hello,
standing on my tests, the client and server modules can only communicate between them, so communication with any other kind of network or server will fail.

Sal, thank you for your reply. I was able to create a TCP client in Processing and successfully receive data from FlowStone's Server component across port 7400 on the component's default IP of 192.168.2.3. Still not sure why I cannot connect FS's Client component to 127.0.0.1, or if there is another way to accomplish what I want to do...

it's because the client component can only communicate with the flowstone's server component which automatically gets the ip address of your ethernet connection, so if it doesn't find a flowstone server on 127.0.0.1, it fails.

Thanks again, Sal. Hopefully, this is something FS developers will address. If the client listens only to the FS server, and there is no way (that I can see) to change the server's IP from that of my router, then I find no functionality in having an IP string as an input to the client component. If I add another server component to the schematic, it uses the same IP.

Am I looking at this the wrong way, and there is another/better way to accomplish what I am trying to (i.e. receive UDP data from a server outside of FS)?

Sal this is not correct?
I have used the FlowStone Client and Server to communicate with all sorts of different IP hardware. The FlowStone modules use the TCP and UDP standards so it should work!

it would be interesting to see some example of your successfull network communication with networks not using flowstone server.
