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...
It should be doable with [comport] and an EIA-485 converter on your serial port, _except_ the snag is the baud rate of 250000, which is not available on most serial ports. For usb, this thing looks good, it already has a pd object: http://www.anyma.ch/research/udmx/
