Would be great if Phidgets could broadcast osc data natievely without the need for a bridge. If you could tick broadcast osc on your phidget and it would send its data, for example, once you've enabled the network server, on a device like the Quadrature Encoder would send something like:
Hubserial#/Hubport#/Channel#/Position
This would make integration with huge amounts of software incredibly simple, thinking software like madmapper, resolume etc etc, opening up all sorts of creative posibilities for those that might not be inclined to get involved with coding a bridge....
