actually, the Open DMX is just a standard FTDI-based USB to serial adapter with the outputs wired into a 5-pin DMX plug. in other words, you could achieve exactly the same with a standard serial port, wiring up the RX/TX lines into the right pins. this is all the Open DMX is on the inside. the system driver takes care of the timing, and doesn't do a very good job of it at all. definitely go with the Pro. -- 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
