[Lab] Color Kinetics Light Panel : DMX anyone?

[Tom Burns]

Oh ok!  Sorry, I went to the site for the Color Kinetics and got lost when
it asked for a model number.

This page has both examples using DMX and at the bottom someone says they've
got code for using processing with the DMX over ethernet.

http://www.directionless.org/color-kinetics/Software See the bottom section
under "Ike Feitler"

This thing sounds fun!  I wish I had the time tonight.  Just bought a house
so... I don't :)

Cheers,
Tom
