Sending a message via UDP?

[lupinglade]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to either send a custom message or otherwise to trigger an existing message on a HAI Lumina via UDP (from a PC or Mac)? Any sample code or docs for this?

Thanks!

lupinglade,

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, are you wanting to trigger the Lumina to send a UDP message to something, or do you want to send a UDP message to it, and trigger the Lumina to do something else?

For the former there isn't currently a way to make the Lumina send a UDP message to another device. For the latter, you could connect to via the Omni-Link protocol, and issue commands to the Lumina. If you are interested in doing this, you could sign up as a developer on our website and download the protocols and a .NET DLL we make available.

I meant to send a message from a PC/Mac to a HAI Lumina (and thus the consoles). Thanks! I will check out the dev site.

In that case, it's entirely possible, but you are going to need to use Omni-Link. All communications with the controller over UDP or TCP are encrypted, so you'll have to implement that also... If you use our .net DLL, that is all implemented for you, if you are using a Mac, there is a 3rd party C library floating around you might be able to use.
