Now with autoconfig!
This bridge application can be run on a computer connected to MOTU UltraLite mk2 audio interface to relay WebSockets messages bidirectionally between a remote/mobile CueMix 5 app (e.g. on an iPad or iPhone) and the UltraLite. It allows you to control your UltraLite wirelessly/remotely.
The node.js app in this repo is still useful if you are using Linux (e.g. on a Raspberry Pi) on your computer. MOTU's CueMix 5 and drivers do not work on Linux, so this is a great way to have (wireless!) mixer control of your UltraLite.
cd
into thenode
folder- Install the
ws
dependency:npm install
- Run the node app on the computer where the UltraLite is connected:
node index.js
- Run the CueMix 5 app from an iPad/iPhone/Computer that's on the same LAN
- On the welcome screen, tap/click on
IP Connect
. Replace the IP with the computer's hostname (computer-name.local
) or IP address (192.168.x.x
)
If everything is set up correctly, your mobile app should connected to your UltraLite through your computer.
The UltraLite-mk5
announces it's presence on the ethernet interface it creates by sending a UDP
packet to the broadcast address (255.255.255.255
). Conveniently, it's in JSON ^o^/
{
"uid":"000000000000dead", // scrubbed for documentation
"name":"UltraLite-mk5",
"ip":"169.254.41.114",
"model":"UltraLite-mk5",
"version":"1.2.0 2467",
"interval":1
}
Knowing this, we just listen for UDP
packets until we recieve the correct one and parse the IP. Have only tested the autoconfig functionality on Windows so far...
