sensel-osc

Python script for sending sensel contact info (i.e. contact count, x/y/force/area/state for each contact) to some other application over OSC. This repo also includes test patches for Max and PureData to receive info. Please refer to the Sensel API documentation for the deatils of "contacts", "state", "force", etc.

This script was tested with Python 3.5.3 on OS X 10.12.

Dependencies

This repo includes sensel-lib-wrappers from the sensel-api. It's not included as a submodule, so it will likely become outdated soon.

This script requires pyliblo, which requires Cython and liblo. You must install the pyliblo dependencies first.

Here are some hints about installing the prerequirements:
