[ros-users] Connecting ROS to a software (music) synthesiser?

[Michael James Gratton]

Hey Raymond,

We should probably take this off the list, but for the record the two 
alternatives you suggest are I think actually the same thing: rososc is 
written in Python and uses the Python OSC bindings.

I created a ROS node in Python by extending rososc's OscInterface 
class. The node simply subscribed to the appropriate ROS topics and 
listened for OSC messages, and bridged only the interesting messages 
between the two. It worked really well, with less than 100 lines of 
code. The repo it is in is private, but I could send that class and my 
installation notes over if you'd like
