Hello everyone. It's been a while since I really played with PD. but i'm interested in controlling lights w/ different parameters... is there a way to control those usb-powered lights using PD? Thanks, Robert
I read:

well if you are willing to put some work (and budget) into it, there's
christian klippels usb I/O box -> http://multio.mamalala.de/
I wrote a [dmx] external (linux only) a while ago for use with this
driver -> http://llg.cubic.org/dmx4linux/
(the box usually hosting it is down - but it should be up and running
in a more stable place RSN[tm] - and you can always drop me a line)
olaf matthes wrote a dmx-usb object which is probably in cvs.

hmmm .. never had any of those but I suspect that all you can do with them is basically (running as root) telling [shell] to run scripts like:
on.sh: modprobe uhci-hcd # or ohci whatever your controller
off.sh: rmmod uhci-hcd # see above
(yes I'm aware that's a bit brute force ;)
I don't think those are meant to be controlled - but please prove me wrong here.

The cheapest and most versatile solution has to involve a Multio.

*Cheapest* would be AID, but that would be a little more work.
aid.interaccess.org
but I think CK is right that indeed usb lights are probably NOT comtrollable at all, probably just feed the power lines of the USB port to the light. I don't think you can issue a command to tell a computer to turn the power off on a given USB port.

I guess its time for the open hardware throwdown! ;) I just saw this
one to add to the fray:
I'll be working with the MultIO and the Arduino, and perhaps the AID as
well. I am working on integrating such devices into the [hid] toolkit
stuff.
