capturing output of example python OSC script

[Frost Sebastian Kai]

Hi there, I’m writing a project to trigger an event based on an OSC “lift” event from my headset I’ve gotten the python OSC example script working and connecting to EmotiveBCI. And when I run it it gives me the following

/com/neutral: (0.0,)
/com/neutral: (0.0,)
/com/lift: (0.34032198786735535,)
/com/lift: (0.460563987493515,)
/com/lift: (0.562188982963562,)

on an infinite loop. I’d like to capture and execute a block of code when a /com/lift event is detected but I don’t see how to access that stream in the code. My python is so-so and as far as I can see that output is generated by the line.

server.serve_forever()

How would I go about capturing the output and triggering executing further code based on a lift event? I can’t find any other good examples and am a bit stuck.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve managed to write this into the filter handler which works and prints “found lift” when I think that command. But I now want the program to return a value and exit but the “serve forever” part  means I can kill my thread but it just starts up looping again.

How do I make it so the server exits cleanly and returns a required value once the command is detected?

def filter_handler(address,*args):
# print(f”{address}: {args}”)
if (address == “/com/lift”):
print(“Found lift”)

Hello Sebastian,

Thank you for your post.   Please try the script below:

# Regular expression to match lines with “lift”
lift_pattern = re.compile(r’/com/lift:\s+\((\d+\.\d+)\)’)

# Function to extract data values
def extract_lift_values(stream_data):
lift_values = []
lines = stream_data.strip().split(‘\n’)
for line in lines:
match = lift_pattern.search(line)
if match:
lift_value = float(match.group(1))
lift_values.append(lift_value)
return lift_values

# Call the function to get the lift values from the stream
lift_values = extract_lift_values(stream)
print(lift_values)
`
