Serial Data To Millumin

Hello,

I have some sensors that, when triggered, send responses back over serial com ports.  I am currently using another media server (Touchdesigner) to receive these messages, parse them, and trigger a video.  I'm curious what the best approach would be for using millumin instead.
Nexmosphere XR-C10 Sensors with Experience controller.

Thanks,
Tim

    Hello @fran8619,

    Hard to say.
    How the message is receive on the computer : via OSC, a network stream, USB, ... ?
    Do you have specifications/documentation about your sensor ?
    What node are using TouchDesigner to receive the message ?

    Sorry, I should have given more details-

    Protocol: Serial over USB


    Example Antenna driver response whenever something is triggered: 
    XR[PU001]\r\n
    X001A[0]\r\n

    In TD i'm using serial in dat.
    Thanks!

    Hello @fran8619,

    I'm sorry, but Millumin cannot receive such serial--over-USB information.
    We did a special case for Arduino and Teensy (see this tutorial), but not for generic RS-232 devices.

    In brief : you need a thrid-party software to convert your RS-232 in OSC for example.
    You can check Chataigne to do so. We wrote a tutorial for backup computers here, and the principle is the same to transform Serial data into OSC.

    Feel free to submit an idea on Uservoice, so we could check if more users are interested in such a feature.
    Best. Philippe
