An OSC client for Ruby

opensoundcontrol.org/

Description

This OSC gem originally created by Tadayoshi Funaba has been updated for ruby 1.9 compatibility. I’ve made a point to make this code as expressive as possible and provide a test suite for confident hacking. It also should be flexible enough to support most crazy ideas.

Compatible with ruby 1.8, 1.9, and jruby

Install

  sudo gem install osc-ruby

for the EMServer, you will need EventMachine

  sudo gem install eventmachine

Event Machine example

  # compatible with ruby 1.8, 1.9, and jruby
  require 'rubygems'
  require 'osc-ruby'
  require 'osc-ruby/em_server'

  @server = OSC::EMServer.new( 3333 )
  @client = OSC::Client.new( 'localhost', 3333 )

  @server.add_method '/greeting' do | message |
    puts message.to_a
  end

  Thread.new do
    @server.run
  end

  @client.send( OSC::Message.new( "/greeting" , "hullo!" ))

  sleep( 3 )

Classic example

  # compatible with ruby 1.8
  require 'rubygems'
  require 'osc-ruby'

  @server = OSC::Server.new( 3333 )
  @client = OSC::Client.new( 'localhost', 3333 )

  @server.add_method '/greeting' do | message |
    puts message.inspect
  end

  Thread.new do
    @server.run
  end

  @client.send( OSC::Message.new( "/greeting", "hullo!" ))

  sleep( 3 )
