bidirectional communication between blueprint and Remote Control Web interface

Hi,

I have a problem with the communication between Blueprint and Remote Control Web Interface (RCWI).

I want to be able to modify with an external joystick the value of a variable, and I want to be able to update also this value in the widget that I have created in the RCWI, and also, I want to be able to adjust this value inside the widget to adjust, if necessary, on the value sent from the blueprint, but it doesn’t work.

When I update the variable inside the blueprint, the value in the widget is not updated, but it is updated in the Detail Panel and Remote Control Panel. But if I move the slider in the widget instead, the variable is updated in the blueprint and also in Panel Detail and Panel in Remote Control.

And if I change the value in Panel Detail and Remote Control, the modification is made in all fields: variable, Panel Detail / Panel Remote Control and Remote Control Web Interface widget.

And the question is, what do I have to do to modify the variable so that this modification is also done in the widget?
I’ve tried to use HTTP remote, too, but I haven’t been able to get it to work.

I have done a Get and Propertyvalues over the browser, and it updates with the variable changes, but the widget does not.

thanks in advance.

This is not an efficient solution, but the only workaround I’ve managed to find is to make an HTTP PUT request from the blueprint to the remote control application every time the value is updated.

How to make HTTP calls from blueprints

Remote Control HTTP documentation

Hope this helped.

Thank you RayFischer32 for your response, I was also evaluating the http request calls, but I couldn’t get it to work… my level with http is very low, that’s probably why it won’t work… I’ll insist on it.
Thanks.

@LUIS_GMM Have you found other solutions? I’m trying to use that motion graphics plugin that depends on remote control, and I’m trying to update the controller value at runtime.
