Sending Bit patterns via a Nomad

I want to program my Nomad 2.9.1 to activate a set of 8 DMX-controlled relays. The system is built and operational but I need to send a bit pattern. E.g. 00000001 will turn on relay #1. 000000101 will turn on relays #3 and 1. Is there a way to send binary signals that conform to this bit pattern
Regards. Carla

  • you can get nomad to send every combination of 1 and 0, but not in the combinating way you probably were hoping for.
    nomad exposes the decimal representation of those 8 bits. so you can write a personality that has 256 different ranges and label those ranges. this will however not give an easy way of going from e.g. 10010010 to 00010010. you would have to read through a list of 256 different range labels to find the one you're looking for.

    if you go the arduino way you probably want to look into a way to combine 8 separate DMX addresses into your pattern. so addresses 1 thru 8 with values e.g. 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0 would be mangled into 00010010.
