Javid Butler 09:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC) Page name should be changed to DMX512, which is the only name the protocol has ever had.

@Kmccoy: Why did you delete my link? The AVR code was a lot of work and it isn't spam... Hendrik

Wikipedia isn't a web directory! Why must we link to every person's random page with some small bit of random information remotely related to the subject? I don't even know what AVR is and I'm a professional stagehand, using DMX every day. I'm going to remove all the links from this article that aren't links to the standard or to the related organizations. Also, check out Wikipedia:External links#Links to normally avoid, especially note item #9. kmccoy (talk) 05:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

As I stated above, I've trimmed the external links. I am copying the ones I removed to this page.

• DMX512 Page
• DMX512 Transmission and Reception with AVRs
• Uk Sound And Lighting Community

DMX Control Software

• Visual Show Automation (DMX Controller)
• DMXControl (Lighting Freeware)

@Kmccoy: I'll respect your decision.

AVRs are 8bit microcontrollers and quite common. (BTW: Those external links are worse the those you kicked...) My code would be useful for people developing costum devices. So the Pages of Ujjal, Hippy (and my own) could be more useful then the official ones... Hendrik

This page as of March 8, 2006, is very complete and accurate. Wish I'd looked here first! Regards Terry King

[edit] DMX-512A
