Hello,
I am looking for general guidance on how best to implement my project idea. I currently have a MIDI controller built on top of a teensy3.6 where I'm sending MIDI data into Max/MSP for sound. I am interested in expanding this to be able to control DMX lighting however I don't have much experience with it. It seems to me that the two most straight forward options are to:
a) integrate some sort of DMX shield into my hardware and use a library for being able to send DMX data directly
b) leave my hardware unchanged and handle DMX data routing within my Max patch, and then use a USB --> DMX piece of hardware from my laptop.
Option b seems like a simpler solution and since I am already attached to a computer for my sound production I'm not sure how having the DMX aspect of the project more standalone would benefit me.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Please let me know if I need to clarify anything or if perhaps there's a better option than what I laid out above.
Thank you
