URGENT!! UDP Input Fault

[Linton9]

Gday,

I require UDP input to trigger some script nodes.

We're generating a test UDP string "[STX]Hello World[ETX]"
I can see this string when I right click on the UDP connection in the connection manager and choose test. (open tester then send string)

I cannot see the string in the UDP input node's output field.

We've tested the TCP input node and the messages sent appear in the output field of that.

HI,

which Rev of Widget Designer are you using?
Is this Windows 7?

Could you sent us your Widget file to support@coolux.de

Thx

Best regards

I will try rolling back to 107 today.

It happens in a new project, all you need to do is insert a UDP Input Node!

The problem still exists in 107...

Maybe I am doing something wrong! I can see my UDP packet using wireshark though!

Should I not use port 8080?

Dear all,

for your information: we found the bug using UDP input nodes. This will hopefully be fixed in the next RC of Widget Designer.

Can I enter my ascii string as operator B in an IF node?
Seems to only work with numbers...

[Julia Foest]

Hi Lynden,

you have to take the Filter Node "Contains Text". There you have an if-condition as well, but it will be able to interpret the incoming string.

Best regards,
Julia

Now I understand the Script Output Node takes input of numbers only!
Excellent, everything is working now!

Thanks Coolux team

Looks interesting.
What are you controlling with it?

Is there a script that will reset the output of my UDP Input Node?
In some circumstances it might be possible that the same string be sent consecutively. For now, my workaround is to open the properties for the node, make no changes and click OK. This resets the output of the node to '0'.
Is there a script that can do the same?

[Markus Zeppenfeld]

Hi Linton,

there is no exact script to reset the output of the node, but you can send (yourself) an UDP message.
Use the script UDPSendToPort,'Port','Message' to send your desired "0" to your UDP input node. This way you can either create your own reset button or add the command in each of your script outputs to reset the output after every UDP input change.

Hope this works for you.

Cheers,
Markus
