   Julian,

   Thanks for the presentation at FlashPitt08! That’s the kind of stuff I’m working on at work now. I didn’t know exactly the Arduino boards did; it has some promise for projects that don’t have an embedded CPU. (The Tinker proxy, BTW, is a bit awkward.)

   Have you ever gotten flash to interface with UPS ports, or more specifically, OSC command signals?

   *UPS = UDP

   doh.

   Craig,

   I agree the TinkerProxy stuff is a little awkward. But that is the only way to get Ardunio talking to Flash as it doesn’t support a Serial Connection. If you use something like Processing you don’t need to have the proxy because it’s already built in.

   I did some UDP communication a long time ago. You could probably wrap your Flash application in something like Zinc or mProjector to get that functionality.

   I haven’t done any OSC though. There are a few different ways to do this. There is Flosc which is a server that you can run to communicate to Flash, or you might be able to wire something up with Max/MSP.

   great session…
