Touch OSC and multiple arduinos

Hello

I am new to arduinos and am looking for some rough advice before I go and buy a load of them.

I have seen projects using Touch OSC on an iPad/iPhone to control vehicles via the wiFly sheild. I am interested in using this method but I would like to control multiple seperate vehicles each with their own arduino and wiFly sheild with just one iPad, with multiple sliders set up on the Touch OSC display.

I have searched far and wide but cannot find out if this possible, would anyone be about to advise me?

Many thanks!

Yes it is possible all you have to do is to send each message to a different IP address.
Will your IPad app allow you to do that?

Hey Mike, thank you for your reply. I am not sure yet if OSC is capable of sending commands to multiple IP address and have not downloaded it yet. Will look further into that.

Don't know about the iPad or your app on it but I have no problems doing this from a Laptop.

Well I don't think touch OSC can talk to more than one IP address at once. Maybe one of your other arduino's can relay the messages.

Thank you for replies. You are right, the TouchOSC app only sends information to one IP address. I will try using one arduino to forward the messages, or will more likey to try a processing sketch to then forward certain messages to specific ip adresses/arduinos.

Mark, which software were you using to send messages from your laptop?

Kind regards

Paul
