Well, another solution: Some time ago I wrote a script for the Enttec-DMX-USB-Pro. It's available at sourceforge: http://sf.net/projects/wtf2osc. You have to check it out from CVS. It's tried in Linux and Windows (but should work in OSX too) and you can talk to it using the OSC-External available for PD (or with any other OSC-capable-software). A sample-patch is included in CVS. When it comes to theaters: I don't think they would accept a open-source- tinker- solution, most are fixed on (and only trust in) commercial devices for some 1000$ :( And sometimes 40 steps/second is too slow for you when you want to be really creative. So long, Chris David Schaffer wrote:Hi, Is there such thing as a DMX language oriented library for pd? I never heard of it but it would certainly be an amazing step forward for the program: being able to deal with sound, video, midi and lighting control signals would make it a must-have for theaters... Considering pd's control signals abilities, it shouldn't be too hard to emulate a lighting board's functions, and also the sound/lighting interraction could be much deeper. Has anyone thought of this before? I know there's usb-dmx boxes out there...
