How to break out a tuple value coming from UDP to TD

Hi there, I’m receiving data from a python script via UDP in the form if a tuple containing a 3float value. I’m using the UDP In Dat node to receive them successfully. However, the problem is that from there, I don’t really know how I can break each component into separate values. As you may see in the image, the tuple has 3 components that represents x,y and z; and my idea is to use these values to move sop meshes.

Additionally, I’m getting that “message” string at the very first row. Is there a way to get rid of that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You’ll want to use the python struct module to decode the byte data in the callback. You can define the struct to be 3 floats, and then decode the byte array into 3 floats using that.

Thank you Malcolm. It worked for me. I’ll post my script soon in case it helps and saves time to somebody else. Cheers!
