Sounds good Pierre. I’d recommend checking out the deken externals
manager Chris > McCormick, et al have been working on: https://github.com/pure-data/deken https://github.com/pure-data/deken
It would be really cool to be able to easily install HOA and Cream with
deken.
Hi Dan,
I already use Deken, it is really good. I'll investigate today on how to integrate the libraries. I have to check few things for compatibility :
I use "all-in-one" externals (Hoa.ext and Cream.ext) that allows me to add the subfolders in the search path and to declare the locals variables for the libraries but that implies that the user needs to add Hoa and Cream in the startup options.
I would prefer to link directly deken to the GitHub repositories to avoid multiples download links and multiples uploads (I've seen an issue about it) .
Thanks

deken does not care about that. it's only for *installing* the package¹, what the package-archive contains is up to you.

yes, there's [41], but work hasn't started yet (actually it's waiting for [24] to be done)

Hello,
I'm looking for advice on a low-cost DMX interface that be controlled from Pd, in Linux.
Can anyone please recommend hardware and compatible Pd extensions/patches?
I used a "lanbox" with Pd once before, but I'm looking for cheaper hardware.
Thanks,
Iain
hello,
i had good success using openDMX interface (for exemple : http://www.enttec.com/?main_menu=Products&pn=70302&show=images ) using ola server : http://opendmx.net/index.php/Open_Lighting_Architecture
(I use 3 of them on a RPi)

I've used the DmxMaster shield with Arduino and it worked fine. Here's the library https://github.com/TinkerKit/DmxMaster and this is the shield https://store.arduino.cc/product/T040060
Heard that the company closed down or something, don't know if it's still supported. Still, if you get yourself a shield (shouldn't be difficult to find one), you can give it a try. The examples of the library are pretty straight forward. I really recommend it.

Here's a patch that uses [comport] to talk to an entec DMXUSBPro.

Would that also work with the DMX USB (non-Pro)? Does anyone know what the difference between these two models is? I seem to remember vaguely that the Pro does buffer messages locally and reschedules them.
I think the Open DMX USB widget behaves as a raw serial port so you need to generate DMX packets 'manually' by sending break (sequence of zeros longer than a character) before each message. At the moment [comport] doesn't have the capability to send breaks but I think it could be done. Since the computer has to time the breaks it can happen that they are out of spec and the DMX equipment doesn't always get the messages. The Pro handles serial comms with the computer separately from the dmx so the timing is always correct.

I got an open usb dmx and I haven't been able to get it working on linux. I think I will try with the raspberry pi but can it be controlled via pd?
Also the patch Martin Peach shared can be used with the open dmx usb on linux? do I need driver?
Thanks for the help, I am really confused here.

AFAIK the open usb dmx can be controlled by [comport] by sending a break followed by the dmx data at the correct baud rate. I recently added a break method to [comport] in svn. You probably need the driver to be able to set the baud rate to 250000. Unfortunately the svn repository at sourceforge is still down but I can post the code if you need it. The patch I posted is designed for the dmx usb pro, which uses its own microcontroller to manage the dmx interface. The open usb dmx is just a USB serial port with a dmx (IEE485) physical interface (as I understand it; I have never seen one in real life and the documentation for it is almost nonexistent).

i used OLA to control openDMX interface from osc (using laptop or raspberry pi).

I found someone using a cheap USB to Ethernet adapter as a dmx controller: http://stevenbreuls.com/2014/03/diy-usb-dmx-controller-for-under-10_2_ethern...
I don't know for sure if it works or if it's lacking any important feature, but since DMX uses the same protocol (RS485) it seems a plausible solution.
Coming to pd, I have no clear idea... a similar solution as Martin Peach's one, based on comport? Can comport be used with an "ethernet" output? Or is there any way to communicate through that ethernet output at a lower level?

It's a USB to RS485 adapter with an ethernet (RJ45) connector. The driver chip is something by FTDI which works as a serial port. Using the latest [comport] from svn it should be possible to set its baud rate to 250000 and issue break commands at the start of each packet. so it should work.
Martin
Thanks Martin, but now I was thinking... what about using the built-in ethernet port directly?

your DMX-device simply has a connector that is also used for networking. it is driven by a different hardware driver than a network card, so you cannot just use them interchangable.
