great, sorry i somehow missed your reply on the forum - thanks very much for sharing your patch!
i had a go and some lights in the theatre are definitely coming up, which is exciting. however i’m still unsure about how to address specific channels. in your dec2hex abstraction i noticed that the 4th last number in the list changes which light comes up, though the actual number is not the channel number (as i know that i have lights on channels 1 - 5 but using those numbers doesn’t bring any lights up). sorry if i am missing something obvious with the number conversions, this is all quite new. many thanks, s Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2015 15:43:56 +0200 Subject: Re: [PD] Lanbox From: [email protected] CC: [email protected]; [email protected] Maybe I'm that someone from the old forum post. I use the lanbox with [comport], not via UDP. I copied the messages output by the [lanbox] external in Max, which used hexadecimal number (if I remember correctly) where one of them was the channel and another the value (among other values). The patch I sent you on the forum did exactly that.

It works with Max Msp using the [lcudp-pack] object (from the lanbox website) which packs data so that it can be sent as a LanBox UDP packet by the udpsend object. as suggested by someone in an old post on the pd forum, i have tried in Max to print the msgs that come out of the [lcudp-pack] object - i get “FullPacket 260 203381508” . however this doesn’t seem to change no matter what the input (even though the dmx controlled lights are fading in and out) so not quite sure how to decipher that. Try sending it to a [udpreceive] in a Pd patch and see what comes out?
