simple_osc2mqtt

Super basic OSC to MQTT bridge that routes local OSC messages starting with "osc2mqtt" to a MQTT broker.

Why?

I had a Max/MSP patch that needed to send MQTT msgs. As there is no native option and other solutions don't work on a silicon Mac computer, I decided to just build a quick and dirty bridge between OSC (via UDP on localhost) and MQTT.

Installation

Other than dependencies (argparse, pythonosc, paho.mqtt, time) nothing needs to be installed or set up.

Usage

Run

• Execute the python script by e.g. python osc2mqtt.py
• You will be asked
  • to enter the port that the bridge should wait for incoming OSC messages
  • to enter the IP address of the MQTT broker (can be "loclahost")

Run with Arguments

You can also add port and IP by using arguements (--port and --ip) when executing:

python osc2mqtt.py --ip localhost --port 12000

Send Messages

• Now just send OSC messages to this port in this format:

  • /osc2mqtt myMessage or /osc2mqtt 0.33 0.44 0.55

  • in max this can look like:
