I've been invited to play with a 4-person laptop ensemble, and
we're planning on setting up an ad-hoc wifi network between the
computers and using OSC to send control messages between the
computers, so that we can interact with eachothers patches.
I think that everyone else is using Max/MSP and supercollider on
powerbooks, and I'm going to be using my linux laptop with PD. I
finally got the OSC external for PD installed(which was a pain
until I just found a .deb package of it), but I can't find any
documentation on how to use it. Has anyone used OSC in PD? I
can't figure out how to tell it where to send the info, and if
attach a number box to the input of "sendOSC", it gives me
"error: sendOSC: no method for 'float'" every time I change the
number.
Thanks a lot!

You cannot send plain numbers over OSC, you need to send proper OSC
messages.
There is a help file in the CVS repository, where you hopefully
downloaded the sources for your first try. The help file should be in
the Debian package, too. Installed they should be in:
/usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/dumpOSC-help.pd
/usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/OSC-help.pd
/usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/OSCroute-help.pd
/usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/sendOSC-help.pd
otherwise check out the CVS at pure-data.sf.net
The help files should cover your questions.
BTW: I'd be interested in how well wifi works out. I suppose latency
will be horrible? We had good luck with real network cables in a
heterogenous setup lately. Synchonization over OSC there worked very
well between about a dozen machines running Pd, Max or Supercollider
(mostly Pd).
Max on Mac had a problem with reading a lot of OSC message at the
same time though which we couldn't debug in the short time.

Thanks for the pointers Frank! I think I'm getting the hang of
it. I'll keep you posted on whether the wifi works out or not.

Excuse me! Aren't you supposed to be studying bass
guitar? :)

Where did you find this? I'm trying to get this on a powerpc-linux,
but debian seems in limbo with pd-osc not existing and pd-externals
does not contain it.
Sourceforge CVS seems to be having problems (The proxy server received
an invalid response from an upstream server.)

I did a search for pd-osc on apt-get.org. It's a great site to
find unofficial .deb packages, but I just searched for powerpc
packages, and there weren't any for pd-osc. I was able to
download the source for the externals, but couldn't get it to
compile. This is the command I used to download the externals:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data \
co externals
hopefully you have better luck with compilation.
