How should I best implement a dimmer? - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

Not sure what else to tell you. The big thing that bothers me is that your Sub-Devices have to lie and claim they have a DMX footprint when they don't, and claim to have a DMX address when they don't. This may cause as many problems as it solves.

Now that you have the personality stuff cleaned up, what works and what fails if you have the sub-device with a footprint of zero and a starting address of 0xFFFF? I know you tried this earlier, but I think it was before PERSONALITY_DESCRIPTION was added.

Anyway, have a good night, I'm off to bed. I've been staring at code all night and I've had enough...
