Thanks for the advice. So BoC doesn't work with the Velleman for custom routines? What's do you mean about "default settings?"
I'll probably be using the SSC-32 for a while anyways, but one of the main reasons I went with DMX was to start a foundation for future expansion using a well supported protocol. Who knows, maybe a DMXorcist is in my future.
Velleman provides a DLL with the unit. Would that be sufficient for Skulltronix to start supporting it? I admit, I'm speaking beyond my expertise here
