readback values send to interface

Post by frans »

Hi,

I run some program that send the data to be send by the dvc2 and I would like to know what it did send.
I have the dvc2 128-m, which does only dmx out (otherwise I might have solved it by looping back the dmx to the input). Is there a way to get back the values the dvc2 just send, or is about to send, by some reading over the usb port.
The goal is to drive my 8x8x8 led cube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzX_hWKN5ak ) for which I have to write my own program, but to get some color info which the other program is sending to the controller.
Perhaps a bit confusing so in short:
1) other program sends data to dvc2 using usb
2) dvc2 sends data to dmx
3) my program reads the data back on the usb.
Step 2 and 3 could change places.
I don't want to read incoming dmx, I just would like to catch the data send to the dvc2.

any suggestions?
