    MTA,

    Here's a page with a PIC based DMX512 project:

    www.qsl.net/n5tle/

    I recommend doing a Google search for "dmx512 pic" to see the rest of the results. There is a PIC to SX code convertor on SList.com that can make useing PIC projects straightforward. If nothing else, finding someone who has done something similar with a PIC will often give you a leg up on the pitfalls and problems you'll face doing the same with an SX.
      Thanks, PeterM

    Thread is being locked -- this forum is for programming and interfacing the SX micro.
