so now i have a simple message without the $3 $1 $2 formatting, which just sends out
[set 1 multifader1 1 color, format s, symbol red(
and i can see it being received.
what i can't see it doing is changing any colouring.
i guess the next step is to modify the grid-object's init state to set a specific fader to yellow and see if it works, instead of using the numbers for yellow, the text yellow.

ok, based on what i'm seeing, the number for yellow, as specced in plom.tosc, is not valid.

local red = Color(1.,.16,.11)

will not work

local red = Color(1,1,0)

will work.

so in that case.. what's not working currently is the "take that message and react to it" part of it. if i could get a PD-button feasibly working that would change the color on a grid, i could continue troubleshooting this, but so far i just don't know how to do it

now the array on PD is actually muddying up the content on the iPad's grid, with an offset of 1. hard to describe properly

..
ok, solved this by changing a [+ 1] to [+ 0] - now the "back from PD to TouchOSC" no longer bugs out.

if only i could solve how to send the correct OSC message from PD to TouchOSC to change the color. then this'd be pretty much ready to be used.

@whale-av just in case, here's the modified .pd + .tosc
plom_modified_but_no_feedback_yet.zip

not sure how to get the messaging right for the colour change as of yet.

hi, i'm not sure what Ping in TouchOSC is?

If it's enabled, then TouchOSC running on the tablet will send a /ping message to the outgoing address/port at the moment when you activate the TouchOSC interface and every 30 seconds after that. This is an easy way to get the tablet to send a message to the computer right away, so that the computer can get the IP and port that the tablet is sending from.
