Hi Jesse,
I haven't used the uDMX device but several other DMX devices with
OLA (Open Lighting Architecture) under MacOS and Linux.
Here is an external that allows you to receive and send DMX data
to OLA:
https://github.com/kronihias/ola2pd
Maybe this solution is more stable fou your. It for sure is more
flexible as OLA supports many different devices, but this is
transparent to the user.
So in case you change to eg. Artnet you don't have to change your
patch.
Best, Matthias

Hi list,
I’m running Pd 0.47
I’m sending a list (read out from a continually
updated table) with 144 entries (for 144 DMX channels) every
50ms dispatched via [metro 50]
After a few minutes of ‘inactivity' (meaning sending
a list with 144 0’s every 50ms) - the uDMX interface activity
light goes dark - and I can’t get anything out of my patch to it
anymore. Re-instantiating the uDMX external object brings it
back to life.
Has anyone had trouble keeping these things alive?
Or maybe I’m updating it too fast - but I get nicer light fades
at a fast framerate (while it’s working).
Or maybe there’s a better way to control this thing?
Ultimately it’s for a an interactive/dynamic patch where any/all
of the 144 channels will be triggered at any given time.. so
traffic control as a table gets constantly updated seemed like a
good approach.
Thanks!
-Jesse
