Is possible to send Xsens skeleton data to Max/MSP using OSC messages.
- Launch Xsens MVN
- Go to Option -> Network Streamer.
- Add a new destination configuration and set the Host (IP address) and the Port to 7000 where you want to stream the data. The Protocol need to be UDP.
- Make sure to set Position + Orientation (Quaternion) and/or Position + Orientation (Euler) when streaming.
- Launch Max/MSP and start the XsensUDP.maxhelp (you can find it on D:\00_core\MaxMSP_Packages\IASpace-tools\help or directly linked to the packages folder: C:\Users\IAAdmin\Documents\Max 8\Packages\IASpace-tools\help)
- In Max/MSP, use
OSC-route /addressto select and route the messages.
The incoming messages from XSens are received, the data will look like this: /skeleton/skeleton i/bone/bone i/type f(x) f(y) f(z)
Where:
- skeleton i = ID of the skeleton from 0-10
- bone i = joint ID from 1-23 (check table)
- type = position or orientation
- f(x) f(y) f(z) = data parameters
