Python Socket or MIDI

by: pythonbgnner, 7 years ago


Hello Python world
I'm trying to create a program using open cv on python 3
My main idea is to be able to use the camera to track objects (done from tutorial)
and export that data to another application. For use in motion capture.
First I tried using sockets because the client software has python 2.7 (motionbuilder MB by autodesk)
but it would always lock up until I closed the python app capturing the video. then the data would show in MB.
So the best idea I think would be to use the python opencv and export the data as MIDI as the MB app can natively use midi import as a mocap driver.
I was able to use rtmidi and could hear the audio changing with the movement of the tracked objects. but MB would not see the midi as it needs to use a COM port to receive the data.

Could python 3 export MIDI as a normal midi object with serial out at 384000 and import it on the same machine?
worst case I could export it from my laptop but I really want to set it up to use MIDI, what do you recommend.

I cannot personally answer this for you, maybe someone else can, but I am guessing SO or a lot of google searches are your best bet :P
