I would like to use pd to control some lights via a wii device. I am on linux 10.04. I have the wii up and running in pd, I have compiled dmx512 from the iem repository, and have the objects dmxin and dmx out in my pd/extra directory. Since these objects depend upon dmx4linux I tried to compile the dmx4linux programme which is supposed to create a dev/dmx directory...... but so far it does'nt do so. The latest version goes back to 2008, so it may not be viable with Lucid.?? Typing dmesg i see my dmx usb pro interface is recognised as dev/ttyUSB0 when i plug it in. But the pd objects will not create. Does anyone on the list have a viable dmx system (preferably using enttec dmx usb pro) set up on linux that they could inform me about? Thanks. Nick.
I do but it's on windows and mac. I could never get dmx working on my linux box I use the object Olaf created and it works great

I am just guessing in here. But since DMX is a serial protocol, maybe you can send the output of the DMX object and feed it to a comport and send the data to your USB device. Its a long shot, and it probably wont work. But you can try :D. I normally only used DMX on arduino, making a patch to connect to the arduino serial and arduino communicating to DMX using the libs. I never used "REAL" dmx hardware on the computer side.

it won't work. while dmx is "a serial protocol", my dmx512 will only work with dmx4linux. i have used it 2 years ago and not since (i'm not doing much with lighting and the like) and it worked great then.
i have no idea about the current state of dmx4linux.

If you can read french : http://www.interface-z.com/produits/com09_mididmx.htm It transforms MIDI protocol to DMX protocol. It works on all platform (test here on MacOSX and Ubuntu Lucid). ++

By the way, I was working on a recent project (remote controlling a am radio) and stumbled across this:
DMX protocol http://www.arduino.cc/playground/DMX/Protokoll
Code examples http://www.arduino.cc/playground/DMX/Examples
Arduino becomes USB OpenDMX Controller http://www.arduino.cc/playground/DMX/Opendmx
Hope it inspires/helps in some way, good luck with it.

Hello Jack, in fact most lighting desks have a midi to dmx interface built in...........its just that when you get to a venue its a lot more convenient to be able to send dmx directly without having to resort to the lighting desk manual. But this interface looks like a useful tool to do just that. Nick

You can definitely use the DMX USB pro with [comport]. I have a patch somewhere that I tested with a DMX dimmer. You basically need to send a header and the control values as a list of bytes. http://www.enttec.com/docs/dmx_usb_pro_api_spec.pdf has the protocol. If I find the patch I'll post it.

Here's the patch. It's a bit messy but you can probably morph it into what you want.

Thanks very much Martin, looks like an interesting project to understand the workings of dmx a bit better. best regards, Nick.
