Yeah. I should upgrade to twister 4's. All my other FX lights are DMX. The new stuff is just too expensive though. I would like to Martin MX-4's. Im still using the MX-1's. lol.

Thank you Luciano. Those were the days when I had to explain to people that the Commodore 64 was not a band including Lionel Richie
Master, You may want to look at RS485 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-485 . I have not done this with a PIC but many have. You are new here so here is a link to the archive http://list.picbasic.com/cgi-bin/board-search.cgi .

What is that for? Ive not read the entire article but it appears to be about data communication rather than motors

OPPS wrong thread, but it would apply to your serial many PIC project.Originally Posted by The Master

Ive had a more detailed read of it. It looks clever but im not sure how i would use it. Would i buy converters or would i have to program the chips and use standard I/O?

Yes, you would need a 232 to 485 converter, the programing would be the same.
Big advantage is distance and "multiple devices".
If you interested search the forum, several discussions about converters, suppliers, and such. I have not used 485 enough to know all of the ins and outs, just enough to know it works well.

Sounds good. Im not doing long distance stuff yet but i will be in the future i hope. Maby only 1 or 2 hundred meeters though. In any case i will probly be using at least 10 chips on each dataline
