12. NETWORK
Configure KOALA based on your network settings, including static IP, destination IP, UDP data transmission
port, and protocol type.
The default data is as follows:
NOTE: Using KOALA in Wi-Fi mode during production is strongly discouraged due to potential reliability and
stability issues. AP mode, weak or disrupted Wi-Fi networks can cause significant stability decreases because
the Wi-Fi module may boost transmission power to compensate.
The Wi-Fi mode proves highly useful during initial installation phases or for parameter adjustments using
mobile devices. However, it's advisable to turn OFF Wi-Fi once these tasks are complete.
13. DATA TRACKING
KOALA sends tracking data in three ways: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and serial communication.
There are two available protocols: FreeD and OSC
a. FREED
It is the most widely used and supported tracking protocol (in specific, the FreeD D1).
KOALA sends FreeD data in UDP mode (Ethernet and Wi-Fi) and Serial RS485.
For serial connection a specific cable is required to be connected to the 'Option 2' port, and the receiver
should be configured as follows:
b. OSC
The data in OSC format is sent via UDP over Ethernet and Wi-Fi in the following manner:
