Im having problems with a patch not working correctly.

now and then it works but most of the time it does not. I keep getting a message "sendOSC: not connected" I cannot work out why.

Please see thread over at monome:

http://forum.monome.org/topic/395#7561

Does any one have any ideas on this?

Try having [sendOSC] with no initial arguments, then after a short delay
send the message [connect localhost 8080( to it.

The dashed box is a bit of a bug which means the port is in use. If you
instantiate [sendOSC host port] and it fails then Pd fails to create the
object. But if you instantiate [sendOSC] without args and then supply a
connect message it will return an int on the left outlet, 1 = success, 0
= fail. In the case of a fail it probably means that something else is
on that port or you have an open handle. In that case try

$> lsof | grep 8080

to see if anything has the port.

Thank you, sending connect localhost 8080 looks as though its solved it.

At last I get down to some serious programming.
