# osc_led

OSC control of LEDs for Jembo

# Install dependencies
1. Open lxterminal
2. Copy/paste the following:


```
sudo apt-get install git
sudo pip3 install osc4py3
mkdir git
cd git
git clone https://git.sav.net.au/Public/osc_led.git
```

# Setup Reaper, load the template
Set up reaper to listen on port 8000 and send to port 9000.
    Control surface mode: OSC
    Mode: Configure device IP + local port
    Device port: 9000
    Device IP: 127.0.0.1
    Local Listen port: 8000
    Local IP: doesn't matter [1]
    Wait between packets: 100ms [2]
    Allow binding messages to REAPER actions and FX learn: [X]

Notes:

1. I couldn't set the address to listen on in the GUI, but it binds to 0.0.0.0 so it's listening on every local address anyway.
2. I've set this to 100ms for testing. If this is too long a latency it can be dropped, but the python components are set with thresholds between .5% and 1% of brightness and colour respectively before changing the LEDs so that grandients aren't crazily chatty.

# Start osc_server
1. Open lxterminal
2. Run the following:

```
cd ~/git/osc_led
./osc_server.py
```

# Controlling Reaper
You can do it from reaper, or use some basic controls from osc_client.py
1. Open lxterminal


```
cd ~/git/osc_led
./osc_client.py play
# OR
./osc_client.py stop
# OR
./osc_client.py restart
```
