mmm,

what RF module that encapsulate the DMX512 protocol , i was looking at using a RF protocol that is more robust even though it comes from other designs from a propitiatory use for messaging ,making any packet meet that protocol as there are so many that i looked at are way way better for the application than dmx512 ,

DMX512 appear to be well below par and waist full, even when used in wired app for the data sent , has no checking, no end of packet byte and high over head when less than 512bytes use , cos you have to know you not getting 512 bytes , not that you missed some and would fill the air with less than usefull retries to achieve an effect result.


I am new to some of this but it just seems that way to me

I also hate redoing the wheel even though the RF modulus i have dont have any protocol defined ( NRF 24L01 2.4Mhz )

any input be good as i am at a crossroads on the best way to proceed i need to control small amount of 600 lights with this app over a small area , of less that 1000 meters

l can make it work with any protocol as long as i can get the correct doco spec & it is not so left field that is not use full except for this application

cheers
