Can you have two Touch Designer projects opened at the same time using the same websocket?

Hey!

Pretty much what the title says. I have a project in Javascript that sends me the values from two different sensors. I have two different Touch Designer projects opened at the same time, both reading from the same websocket. However, it doesn’t seem like it’s working right now. Is there something I don’t know?

Thanks!

Hi @Wilay,

if the javascript app can distribute values to multiple websocket connections this should not be a problem. It sounds like it works when a single TouchDesigner instance is running?

I suppose it does. I am simply connecting to a websocket in JS and sending values, and reading them in TouchDesigner. However, it seemed like it wasn’t working for the 2nd touch designer I connected to the same websocket.

can you share the JS websocket server or parts of it so we can try to recreate the issue?
