External Data
Is it possible to access and display data given from an external script?
For example I make a small script that is giving me some realtime data (e.g. an python script that calculates some values that end up being a integer or a string), can I somehow integrate this data into my projection? and if so, how?

Hi,
I don't believe we've tried this kind of installation ourselves, but here are a few ideas:
- If you want to use the output of your python script to control HeavyM, you could check out the OSC API. If you manage to convert the data given by the script to send OSC messages using float values between 0.0 and 1.0 then you could control events/values in HeavyM.
- If you want to display the data, then the output of your python script must be converted to something that HeavyM can recognize as a Source type, for instance a Spout/Syphon or NDI stream. If you can't convert the feed directly, you could try to record the video output/your screen via an app that can convert and send the stream to HeavyM afterwards (OBS, Syphon recorder, NDI Screen Capture...)
Hope that these give you a few leads, have a nice day!
