Touchdesigner does not register it, it does not take the IP address that I assigned to it.
I thought it could be a compatibility problem but I also have Resolume Arena and this software does recognize it and works properly.
I work with a mac m1 pro TD Version 2022-32660 with an ethernet adapter
mi node is Lite-Tek Node 8
I hope someone can help me solve this, I thank you in advance, greetings
Hi,
It looks like Resolume supports some type of Art-Net endpoint discovery. I don’t believe that TouchDesigner’s dmxoutCHOP has a mechanism for this.
By default the dmxoutCHOP has it’s ‘Network Address’ parameter set to 255.255.255.255 which is a broadcast address. As long as your device isn’t explicitly configured for unicast it should receive data there. If not, you will want to set the Network address to ‘192.168.0.4’ manually.
The ‘Local Address’ parameter which has an auto-populate button next to it is used for selecting the local interface on the system that’s hosting TouchDesigner so that you can configure what card and IP to use on systems with multiple network interfaces.

For Art-Net device discovery, TouchDesigner has the Art-Net DAT. It will broadcast an ArtPoll packet out on the network and enumerate any devices that respond with an ArtPollReply.
well isn’t that just rad 
thank you @eric.b
is there some way to simulate this or, better yet can someone post a project/tox with one of these populated and locked off?
Seems like with this DAT, the dmxoutCHOP and tdu.ParMenu you could pretty quickly build a wrapperCOMP that provides the behavior @AlejandroMier is looking for.
gracias por el apoyo
Pruebe este proceso pero continúe sin crear una conexión.
@eric.b I would like to obtain more information to carry out the process correctly. I tried but I can’t access it, it simply doesn’t generate a link. I’m not doing something right and I want to fix it. Is there a tutorial? Any information on how to do this process?
I would really appreciate it.
Do you mean on how to use the Art-Net DAT? You can simply pulse the Poll parameter and it will populate the table with any devices that are on the network.
@eric.b If I clicked on the box and it still doesn’t generate anything, even with CHOP Info, you can see that it searches or scans but it doesn’t give a result.
My guess is your problem (with both the Art-Net DAT and the DMX Out CHOP) is that the packets are getting sent out on the wrong network interface. In that case, you will need to select the appropriate network interface using the Local Address parameter. When one is not selected the OS defaults to the first enumerated interface, whatever that might be.
Hello
I really appreciate the interaction and the willingness to solve my problem.
This post will be long but it is intended to explain my process in detail, maybe I am very new, but I did not find information about it.
The problem was solved but in a different way, which I would like to share as background and if someone else happens to have it.
As I mentioned, my art-net node is connected to an ethernet adapter, when I made the connection in Resolume it worked well, both the software and the node made a connection and there was a response on both devices, that was clear, then every time I tried something in TD it closed Resolume and started again.
The DAT Art-Net operator never registered my node because it did not return data over the network and the CHOP dmxout operator did not find anything. That was the problem and why I lost my mind for a few days. The thing is that I looked for all the possible information and the node was connected to my network, it worked fine, but there was no data return. Anyway, I tried to monitor the DAT Art-Net with Arena running and oh surprise it detected the node’s IP address, but the CHOP dmx did not register it, I understood that the registration was there, in CHOP dmx I only entered the adapter’s IP in local address and in network address the node’s IP and it sent a signal but my lights flickered, when I closed arena there was no data return and the connection was lost. Well to finish this story, perhaps very silly, in CHOP dmxout I only had to change from Art-net to sACN, enter universe number 1, close Arena and everything works correctly.
I hope my experience helps someone else and I don’t waste days trying what is perhaps obvious but that due to lack of knowledge and information is not fully understood
Greetings and I reiterate my thanks for your help.
