Hi,
I need to control light using DMX from PD. Has anybody done some work on controling DMX gears from PD? Im thinking of using Dmx4Linux and write a DMX primitive for PD.

We have used the LANbox device. it can be controlled vis midi, serial and appletalk, and seems pretty good in it's behaviour.
I almost wrote a little external to make the control stuff do the right thing, but then I had to move over to Max for some other reason and never got it finished in PD. But the serial control is all very simple, as far as I remember, and the midi control is even simpler: send it note-on messages with the desired level divided by 2 (DMX has 8 bits, not 7) in the velocity. easy.
