Make sure that the outgoing connection is set to "TouchOSC" in the OSC out tab. Make sure that File->External->OSC Out is checked.

Generally, the first incoming OSCMessage from is captured and outgoing OSC messages are directed to the IP address that the message was received from. But, when TouchOSC is selected as the output and it is set to use Bonjour as "TouchOSC" LXConsole can fid it automatically and send OSC to it. I believe that is what the zeroconf setting in TouchOSC's connections widow does, configures it to appear as TouchOSC on bonjour.

Only intensity channels defined in the setup window's OSC action tab are sent at the moment. It should work with the intensity for your light, but not the individual colors.

The interface is updated by OSC actions that set a channel level only if the subindex is specified by name. So an action with the string "1.23@%p" will not update the table and sliders in the Inspector's channel tab. An action command with the string "1.Red@%p" is the same in that it sets the level of the red subchannel like the previous action. However, when an osc message is received that triggers this command, the sliders and table in the Inspector's channel tab are updated. Updating takes time and the first method, while not showing the update in the channel tab is much faster and responsive than the second method. You have to decide which to use if the best speed or full interface updates are important to you. Depending on the network connection and machine, there may not be an obvious speed cost to just update the interface. If you want to do this on a channel without subchannels, just use something like "1.intensity@%p" as the action command and the intensity slider in the channel tab will move when OSC triggering this action is received.

The latest build Version 6.2.1 (17211.1) of LXConsole will improve the ability to send OSC out for corresponding subchannel level type actions. For example, an OSC message triggering an action "1.Red@%p" will be sent out when the red subchannel of channel 1 changes (Provided, of course, sending channel changes is enabled in the Preferences' OSC Out tab and OSC Out is enabled in general and OSC output has established an output target IP address).

What exactly are you doing and what does not happen that you expect to happen?

There is nothing wrong with OSC in LXConsole. So, the issue must be something on your machine or how you have the preferences set.

Hi Claude !!!

I expect the little dot under the osc in icon to show. I tough no matter what is the preferences setting, , you can toggle OSC on and off.

Actually everything works. I dont know what created that.

Look in the messages window to see what error is being reported when you try to enable OSC. Please post the full version that you are using when this happens. eg. the latest build as of right now is Version 6.2.1 (17211.1).

Look at the System Preferences Security and Privacy tab. Look at the firewall, Firewall Options button. Be sure that LXConsole is set to allow incoming network connections.
