Hi! This is my first post. I hope everyone is doing well.
I’m wondering if there is a way to set up a WAV Trigger with OSC or UDP control of playback. On a scale of 1-10 in terms of my knowledge of how these things work, I’m about a 4.
I do tech support for a company called ENTTEC that makes a show control device for lighting cues called the S-Play. This device has the ability to send UDP, OSC, or RS232 commands to other devices. At the end of the day, when someone walks past a threshold, I have a motion sensor that will tell the S-Play to run a lighting effect and play the audio.
Is there a solution using Sparkfun components? I already have the WAV Trigger in my possession.
Oh man, I didn’t even think about that. The show control device has relay outputs. I was looking at it from the completely wrong angle. I can wire it up rather than try to use network based commands. Thanks so much for getting me pointed in the right direction!
There are such massive benefits to using addressed/networked I/O, plain ol’ fashioned point-to-point discrete ‘relay outputs’ is easy to overlook. I was thinking you’d be hacking an existing sensor & light, basically tapping off them. But since it seems you have the ability to manipulate (increase n?) the controller ports, of course there’s a lot more you could try.
I once had a place with a spiral staircase and I toyed with the idea of lighting a few steps forward as someone went up or down with half a dozen little sensors to evaluate position. I never got around to building it and I haven’t lived there in ages but your question reminded me of the project and, it didn’t occur to me at the time, a stairs up / stairs down sound might have been neat.
