Has anyone had any experience pulling notes from Powerpoint ? I’m currently using OSC Point with companion and dNotes on occasions however I would love to be able to pull the notes out to a custom environment for events

Complete newbie to OSC Pilot so any advice / guidance would be massively appreciated.

You have the wrong forum. Different product and software.

Are you asking how it would work with Pilot? 🙂

Hi Mike

I’m sure I could manage to get buttons etc to work but you can also leaver out textual content things like notes slide numbers etc.

iis it feasible to display textual content feed back in Pilot?

loving it so far for other projects

It is feasible, yep (textual feedback, ie. notes, slide numbers etc.) in Pilot.

but you need a tiny bridge script or a Companion setup thing in the middle to turn oscpoint’s feedback into clean strings, if you will.  
try: Companion, it is a small Node/Node-RED script, google results will show some places to get.  
it will listen for messages then the idea would be to pull out what you want  
would look like this: /pilot/notes “note text, blah blah” same thing for /slidenum “2 / 32” etc.

I think Pilot CAN show dynamic text this way \> labels/buttons support having their text set over OSC, it just expects something simple, not the raw JSON that oscpoint has…

Happy Sunday, btw, hope this helps, interested what you get with this… I sometimes do my best work on weekends 😁

Mike you’re a gent.. and happy Sunday to you too.

I guess my original question really should have been can text / buttons handle dynamic texts..

Got time time away on a job to play later this week and the Dec to get into it more.
