Hi,
I need to control light using DMX from PD. Has anybody done some work on controling DMX gears from PD? Im thinking of using Dmx4Linux and write a DMX primitive for PD.

We have used the LANbox device. it can be controlled vis midi, serial and appletalk, and seems pretty good in it's behaviour.
I almost wrote a little external to make the control stuff do the right thing, but then I had to move over to Max for some other reason and never got it finished in PD. But the serial control is all very simple, as far as I remember, and the midi control is even simpler: send it note-on messages with the desired level divided by 2 (DMX has 8 bits, not 7) in the velocity. easy.

a week or two ago there's been a DMX thread on the MAX/msp list. You might want to check the archives at cycling74. I think the final note was that Fokko van Duin (LanBox creator) released a set of DMX examples, available at http://www.lanbox.com/downloads/ - maybe that could be a starting point for some pd equivalents.

Yeah i know. those are more sofisticated examples to control generic dmx with full 8 bit resolution. but using sysex it's a bit more dificult for someone who it's just starting 2 Xperience the great joy of DMX

with the lanbox, you can control 254 channels of DMX from a single box. here's how simple it is 2 control each one from max or pd:
