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

Hi Eric,

I interpreted this by stating that stating that a subdevice has NO subdevices. Hence I report 0 for subdevices in the subdevice info. I just noticed that this is a WRONG assumption as p 59 states that this must alwasy report the subdevice count.
My mistake!

In my opinion, personalities can and should function without a description by simply showing them as the personality number.

The spec does not seem to mandate that DMX_PERSONALITY_DESCRIPTION must be supported if DMX_PERSONALITY is supported.

Perhaps we need to clarify this further?

Kind regards
Bernt
