Need help with remote sensor connections

Could someone please help me on how to connect to the scratch remote sensors? I have a Mac so if there is anything in terminal that I could do please say. Also, please don't post snippets of Actionscript or Java, because I don't know how to program with that. Thanks!

Re: Need help with remote sensor connections

Remote Sensor Connections are for advanced users, they are for connecting Scratch to ActionScript, Java, or anything other language with sockets. Basically what you do is make a program that connects to port 42001 on whatever IP you want to connect that has Scratch running with Remote Sensors enabled. So I suggest learning another language other than Scratch if you plan on using Remote Sensors.

I know exactly what remote sensor connections are, and theoretically how to use them, I also know Applescript and HTML, its just that they won't help me now.

Yeah, Applescript and HTML aren't of any help here. The simplest remote connection is mesh, if you wanna try experimenting with that. Otherwise why would you want to use remote sensors if you don't know any other language?

Re: Need help with remote sensor connections

I already know how to use mesh and have created multiple projects with it, but that is still scratch to scratch, and I want scratch to real life. So I guess I do have to learn a new programming language  sad
