This is an OpenFrameworks addon designed to send out heartbeats over OSC UDP to the performance monitoring app ampm. A heartbeat is a UDP message containing the string 'heart'. By default, ampm accepts these heartbeat messages on port 3002. An example follows:
ofApp.h
#include "ofxHeartbeat.h"
class ofApp : public ofBaseApp {
public:
ofxHeartbeat hb;
}ofApp.cpp
void ofApp::setup() {
hb.setup('127.0.0.1', 'my-app-name', 3002);
hb.start();
hb.resetCountdown();
}
void ofApp::update() {
hb.update(ofGetLastFrameTime());
}
