USB serial have pretty crappy timing in general, from my experience. I have banged my head against the FTDI driver quite a bit while working on Firmata. If you need really tight timing, go with a real serial port. .hc -- damian stewart | skype: damiansnz | [EMAIL PROTECTED] frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/ listinfo/pd-list kill your television ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Hi Peter, The Open DMX has stability problems and the fading is jolty sometimes. Something to do with not being able to store an entire DMX frame at the same time I think. I read an article a while ago that explained the exact differences, but I can't seem to find it again. I have had no issues with the Pro at all. So definitely go with the Pro if you can. It isn't that much more expensive anyway, and it just doesn't break.

Hi Palmieri, Sadly I don't have a linux version of Adrian's [dmxsend] object. He made it specifically for a Windows based theatre work I was doing. [dmxsend] is also designed to work with the Enttec DMX USB Pro, not the Enttec Open DMX. The two devices work quite differently. Seems to work fine with any Windows version of Pd though. Old, new, extended or vanilla. I'm sure there would be a Linux DMX external floating around somewhere though.

Re: [PD] looking for open dmx external
Hi Jim, I think you could do it using [comport] if you set the baud rate to 25 and 8 data/2 stop bit/no parity.. With a regular serial port you can't set that particular baud rate but I'm guessing that the device will allow that since that's what it's made for. The C++ Builder Example V1.41 on the Enttec website does just that. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/opendmxusb/bc5_dmxusb_soft_141.zip?download I recently modified [comport] to accept lists of bytes so you could send an entire dmx packet with one message.
