Feedback from LPU-2

[T..stoon Events]

Hello,
I have an LPU-2 that I want to control via Kiosc. How do I receive the following feedback and how do I program it?

for example:
Button - which selects a scene/cue in the LPU
- fill the button in a defined color e.g. red
- Add text in button e.g. ON

Thanks and Greetings

Hello Stoon,

The LPU-2 has an API with can be used by Kiosc to control it.
The API for the LPU-2 is documented in the Cuety manual available from https://www.visualproductions.nl/downloads/

For starting a specific cue in a playback you can use the UDP API command "pb<playback index>/ju=<cue>" for example pb20/ju=3 to start cue 3 of playback 20.

For styling you will have to use Kiosc Editor. When you select an element you can use the bar at the bottom to set the properties of the element.
On the left of the bottom bar there are two tabs. "APPEARANCE" and "BEHAVIOUR".
In the appearance tab you can select to colour and the text of a button.
In the behaviour tab you can set the tag to the API command of the LPU-2.

There is no API feedback to know if a specific cue is on or off. But there is feedback for the active cue.
You can use the UDP tag "pb<playback index>/cue" in a label element to show which cue is active.

Kind regards,
Guido VIsser

Hello Guido
Unfortunately, it is still unclear to us how we can receive feedback from the LPU-2 in the kiosc and how we can program it. The Kiosc and Cuety manuals do not clearly describe which elements can or cannot receive feedback. Here are our open questions:

-Which elements can receive feedback (e.g. indicator or label?)
-How are the feedbacks presented by the corresponding elements?
-What feedback can the LPU-2 send/what feedback can Kiosc receive?
-Where does the corresponding (UDP) tag have to be inserted, e.g. under the "BEHAVIOUR" tab or directly in the element that is placed in the layout?

Can you explain this to us better and/or send a photo or short video?

Thanks and regards

Hello Stoon,

I have attached a kiosc file you can use as an example to see how the API can be used from Kiosc.
The example will only use playback 1 using both UDP and OSC.
You can open this file in KioscEditor to see which API commands are used to create it and how the feedback looks.

Kind regards,
Guido VIsser
