@jameslo Thanks, I will check that other thread out. You're correct that the backslash doesn't work after saving and reopening. I just figured that one out.

I have been trying to route OSC messages from TouchOSC using only Vanilla objects. One message for example (after [oscparse] is:
list 4 multitoggle 35 0

[listen "port#"]
I
[netreceive -u -b]
I
[oscparse]
I
[list trim]
I
[route 4] This is the tab number in TouchOSC

[route 4] is blocking any data from passing through to [print], but I figured out that if I type [route \4] the \ character disappears and it routes the data perfectly. I am glad that I got it to work, but don't understand why it is now working. Does anyone have info on this issue?

Thanks in advance.
I am running PD 0.52.2 on Mac OS

I wasn’t aware of [comport]. I will try it out.

I have no idea where to start with compiling a 32 bit external to 64. I would actually like to learn. Do you have any recommendations where to look?

@whale-av Thanks for replying. I have used [grid] and other xy objects to get the mouse state, but I am looking for something that can take usb or bluetooth input of external devices like [hid] did (or [hi] in Max). I am surprised it doesn't exist already for Pd.

Hi All,

Is there a 64 bit alternative to the [hid] object? I have searched around and have not been able to find an answer.
