TouchDesigner Usage Guide

Preparation:

1. Successfully connect the WIAnode to the network (as described in the Configuration Phase above).

2. Click on the WIAnode plugin node in TouchDesigner, go to the configuration page and click "Connect". Enter the device IP address, client ID, and password.

   • Default client ID: mqtt
   • Default password: dfrobot

3. Press the WKUP button to view the IP address, and enter the device's IP address into the "IP" field in the configuration panel. (Ensure that your computer and the WIAnode are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.)

4. Once data subscription is successful, the plugin will display a green "connected" indicator, indicating a successful connection.

If the connection fails, click "Reconnect" to try again.

Make sure "Active" is turned on during use. Turning it off disables communication for the plugin.

Using Sensor Data:

1. Use a "select" node to route the plugin data output.

Controlling Actuators:

1. Connect the configured data to the corresponding port (P1–P6), ensuring it matches the actuator port connected to the device.

Example:

• Step 1: Set the P5 port to servo180 mode.
• Step 2: Connect the servo to the P5 port.
• Step 3: Connect the control data to the P5 field in the TouchDesigner plugin.
