Maybe I'm that someone from the old forum post. I use the lanbox with [comport], not via UDP. I copied the messages output by the [lanbox] external in Max, which used hexadecimal number (if I remember correctly) where one of them was the channel and another the value (among other values).
The patch I sent you on the forum did exactly that.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone on the list has successfully used pd with a Lanbox dmx controller and is able to tell me how i should format the messages to communicate via mrpeach/udpsend?

It works with Max Msp using the [lcudp-pack] object (from the lanbox website) which packs data so that it can be sent as a LanBox UDP packet by the udpsend object.

as suggested by someone in an old post on the pd forum, i have tried in Max to print the msgs that come out of the [lcudp-pack] object - i get “FullPacket 260 203381508” . however this doesn’t seem to change no matter what the input (even though the dmx controlled lights are fading in and out) so not quite sure how to decipher that.

Try sending it to a [udpreceive] in a Pd patch and see what comes out?

Martin
