will the usb dongle work with Catalyst?

I like this find, the dmx to midi rackmount would allow one to easily control qc patches.

Thanks for the info.

anybody tried this dmx 2 usb interface with the catalyst??

[samsc]

since i wrote the software .... the last time i checked it worked with the single universe input dongle....

Are those available in the US?

Would the Enttec Open DMX USB or the DMX USB Pro work with the Pepperoni driver or would you ever be interested in adding a driver for either of those?

so far - i believe the peperoni ones seems to be the most reliable.
though i havent checked in a while.

did you send them an email about distributors?

I'll go ahead and purchase a Pepperoni single input dongle and let you all know how they work.

Bumping this thread with fruther questions about reliability of peperoni Rodin 2.

Twice in a tech now I've had the nice flashing blue LED turn constant and Catalyst stopped seeing DMX. The DMX was there (tested it) but plugging and replugging the DMX didn't resolve the problem. Only unplugging the USB from the Mac Pro and replugging resolved the problem.

Both times it has been totally unpredictable when it stopped working. Not good when I'm relying on it to trigger Catalyst at key moments. I've put in an e-mail to the guys who make peperoni to see if they have any ideas. Anyone else had any problems or found out why this may be happening.

Cheers,

From the peperoni makers...

Dear Kevin
The steady blue light means - you are right - that DMX is received. In addition it means that there are not USB transactions going on. The later seems to be the reason for your problems: the catalyst software is not handling the Rodin2 anymore.
As long as the software is handling the interface the blue led is flashing with approx 2Hz. If there is no DMX signal present the led will flash red with approx 2Hz and keep signalling usb transactions in blue.
Hopefully that helps.

Kind regards
Jan Menzel

...For all you who know more about Catalyst than I do...If this is true, why would Catalyst stop handling the peperoni adapter all of it's own accord?
