No way of checking if ofxArtnetSender/Receiver is actually connected #25

Open bgstaal opened 5 years ago

bgstaal commented 5 years ago

As of now there is no way of checking if Sender/Receiver is actually connected to the udp endpoint. This makes it impossible to check if one is actually connected before sending data.

Yes this is exactly the interest of Polling the receiver, but it seems that it is not implemented in this git

I think you guys are talking about artpoll message. It’s not implemented in this version. I don’t think it’s not that complicated though.

+1, I'm also interested in a method to check if the connection has been opened successfully

piotrus04 commented 5 years ago

I found this from a friend of mine, https://github.com/mattbeghin/Art-Ext-Poll and https://github.com/OpenLightingProject/artnet-examples/blob/master/src/artnet-test-master.c

but i don't have sufficient knowledge in C to make a good (coded well) implementation alone.

Somebody would be interested to implement it ?

hiroyuki commented 5 years ago

if you can wait some time, I will try it later. maybe in next month.

in case you can not wait, i think you can write your own code using ofxNetwork. The basic infomation is here.

Ok , i'll try. I can do it, it will just be quite dirty. If somebody can later clean the code... :) I'll try to implement it in october. thks
