hi here.
I'd like to connect deux mac over wifi to receive and send few global arrays.
Really weird. I can receive few things but not all. Is there something specific to do ?
Thanks.

global array are multicast so not really suited for wifi, at least not all WiFi routers I guess.

try with ethernet cables.
I'm using d-link DIR-652 with Ethernet and a WIFI repeater, with only one global array, it's OK

Although I found that "sometimes" the share button need to be restarted on both sides to have proper communication (mainly if you change something in the network settings)

Cheers

Thanks.
And what about just midi datas ?

Hello,
We use all the time Global Arrays over Wi-Fi and it works fine. And we send a lot (hundreds) and sometimes quite huge GAs. In it design, communication between computers was one of the main point of GAs, wireless or over Wi-Fi.
I assume you use the shared computer feature with Usine. And send GAs is also checked in the setup.
Are all your GAs well defined on both computers ? That means the GA itself should be present on both side. Did you check respective GAs to send or receive the values ?
By default, GAs use a "pass if changed" on set and get. Depending on your use case, they may not be useful, and don't deliver the value.
Triggers are not efficient enough with GAs. Prefer to use a toggle before the set and a has changed (to create the trigger) after the get.
Hope it helps.

From my point of view, prefer GAs over MIDI busses, easier and more direct to use. Data busses or MIDI busses should work but less efficient.

Hi Sylvain,
Can you please give us the exact name of your wifi router ?

Seems not all routers are equally fit for this kind of use !

Thanks

Hi Olivar,

Don't use "specific" Wi-Fi router.
If you encountered some issues with Wi-Fi communication, I don't think it is related to Global Arrays.
