It's just a miniUSB male to USB male cable connected to a USB female to USB male cable that I spliced together. My soldering skills are crap though :-/

Well, DMX is a fairly simple packet to generate. You have 512 channels, and each one is just one byte. So you're just broadcasting 512 bytes per frame, at a minimum of 100 frames per second. TI-BASIC can't quite push this out, but I hacked it into working by making the ASM lib loop what it broadcasted at 100FPS, and only changing one channel at a time. Since the program can only affect one channel at a time anyway, this means I'm generating maybe 5 FPS, and the ASM lib is broadcasting a loop for the rest without too much of a problem.

Possibly, it's not quite done yet. I'm still having issues with the frame rate being a little too slow, it causes a flicker in RGB enabled lights, and it occasionally goes insane and sets all the channels to full (YAY EPILEPSY)
I've actually used it in small shows at a local venue, but it doesn't quite replace a dedicated lighting console or PC.

Wow, that's actually quite cool! Is it in assembly?
Also, may I suggest wrapping the video in [youtube] tags so that we don't have to leave to watch it?
Done, and as it says in the first post, it's TI-BASIC with a small ASM lib. TI-BASIC can't send frames to the USB fast enough, and the lights interpret it as data corruption and ignore it.

Just wanted to show you guys the demo of this program I've been working on for a while. It allows you to control 64 channels of DMX512 through a TI84 (Needs the USB to output fast enough). In case you don't know what DMX512 is, it's the protocol used to control stage lighting. This is completely written in TI-BASIC, with a small ASM lib to utilize the USB port efficiently.

You may remember the Omnimaga version of TI-Connect? well, i'm now releasing it to the general public. To get your free copy, get on IRC and join #omnimaga. If "Alex10819" or "AlexHelp" is online, type "!get ticonnectomni.zip", and accept the DCC request. To run the omnimaga TI-connect, unzip it, then double click it... it will work no matter where it is on your system. thanks, and have fun

you would expect that to be 1000, but ah well... that means only the author can get the special edition

ugh... i'm glad this is over...
the current status:
I've been unbanned/unadmined at CMP... however, unbeknownst to him, i'm a secret admin... but i'm not abusing my powers
WCM is still banned from CH...
WCM is banned from all CG run IRC channels, including #calchaven
WCM is quitting IRC because of Hawthorne...
---------
with any luck, this means it's all over...
