Interested in purchasing, does this product support OSC?

I'm wondering if this product supports OSC, because midi has too low of a resolution for my use case (lighting).

Hi, our products don't support OSC natively. They support high resolution MIDI, with bit depth resolution options in the 8-12 bit range.

but a midi to osc software can help

Midi to OSC doesn't fix the res issue but ty for recommendation. Many products do not support high res midi but support OSC. I also prefer OSC, personally.

As an aside @user do your products have an sdk or C library functions that can be called directly? I saw a dev kit on your products page but I'm confused to what is included and why it costs money (does it include some sort of dev hardware?)

kkerti kkerti ·

The developer kit contains an ESP32 programmer, which can be hooked up to the microcontroller directly for firmware development.

Oh neat!

What you can do is probably enumerate the connected Grid USB through serial and call the lua API to execute commands on Grid / return some data.

kkerti kkerti ·

The Grid Editor also depends on a serial parser, to make sense of Grid's messages in the javascript world. And configurations from the Editor are sent back to Grid via serial.

sweet! my apologies i just read the posting know how, i should of opened another question

@user I see the device is HID compliant, can I alternatively work with it directly via HID apis?

captainchemistcactus captainchemistcactus ·

Without changing firmware

kkerti kkerti ·

Can you elaborate on your goals using HID?

kkerti kkerti ·

The modules can be configured to send mouse / keyboard messages on changing the control elements. These configurations are stored on the modules and the Editor is not required to use them.

I suppose I need to just buy a module and play around before asking more questions.

Stream deck for example can be spoken to using HID apis

Essentially, I'm working on a project where I'd like users to buy these modules and have them be able to work "natively" with high resolution without updating firmware or making any changes. It would be a lot of effort to support midi 2 in my project, so I'm looking for an alternative
