# OSC Input Trigger

OSC Input triggers allow you to control Spikemark from some other software.

{% hint style="danger" %}
It can be dangerous to trigger motion automatically, the other computer won't be able to know if there is a person in the way. We strongly encourage the use of hold to run.
{% endhint %}
