ComfyUI Node: IMAGE Switch OSC Control @ vrch.ai

IMAGE Switch OSC Control @ vrch.ai:

The VrchImageSwitchOSCControlNode is designed to facilitate the dynamic selection of images based on Open Sound Control (OSC) messages. This node is particularly useful in interactive environments where real-time control over visual elements is required, such as in live performances or installations. By receiving OSC messages, the node can switch between different images, allowing for a seamless and responsive visual experience. The primary goal of this node is to provide a flexible and efficient way to manage image transitions, enhancing the interactivity and adaptability of your visual projects.

IMAGE Switch OSC Control @ vrch.ai Input Parameters:

OSC Address

The OSC Address parameter specifies the address from which the node will listen for incoming OSC messages. This address acts as a unique identifier for the node to receive the correct messages intended for image switching. It is crucial to set this parameter correctly to ensure that the node responds to the appropriate OSC signals. The address should be a valid OSC address string, and there are no specific minimum or maximum values, but it should match the address used by the OSC message sender.

Debug Mode

The Debug Mode parameter is a boolean setting that, when enabled, allows the node to print debug information to the console. This can be particularly helpful during development and troubleshooting, as it provides insights into the OSC messages being received and the internal decision-making process of the node. The default value is typically set to false, and enabling it will not affect the node's primary functionality but will provide additional output for debugging purposes.

IMAGE Switch OSC Control @ vrch.ai Output Parameters:

Selected Image Index

The Selected Image Index output parameter indicates the index of the currently selected image based on the received OSC message. This index corresponds to the position of the image in the node's internal list of images. The output is an integer value, and its interpretation is straightforward: it tells you which image is currently active. This output is essential for connecting the node's functionality to other parts of your visual system, allowing for coordinated image display.

IMAGE Switch OSC Control @ vrch.ai Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the OSC Address is correctly set to match the address used by your OSC message sender to avoid any communication issues.
• Use the Debug Mode during the initial setup and testing phases to gain insights into the node's operation and to troubleshoot any unexpected behavior.

IMAGE Switch OSC Control @ vrch.ai Common Errors and Solutions:

"Index out of range"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the OSC message specifies an index that is outside the range of available images.
• Solution: Verify that the OSC message is sending a valid index and that the node has been configured with the correct number of images.

"Received invalid value"

• Explanation: This error is triggered when the OSC message contains a value that cannot be converted to an integer.
• Solution: Ensure that the OSC message is sending a valid integer value and that the message format is correct.
