Anyone using the external dmxusbpro with Max8?
Hi all,
I've been using the dmxusbpro external with Max6 to control an ENNTEC DMX Usb Pro device for many years now with great satisfaction.
I now must update Max to ver. 8 and I'm trying the demo. (MacOS)
I added the external to /Max.app/Contents/Resources/C74/extensions/max/dmxusbpro.mxo
And now Max says "dmxusbpro: could not load due to incorrect architecture"
I understand the dmxusbpro is a very old external and I feel lucky I-ve been able to use it up to Max6
BUT
I also read here on the forums that user Jan M (can we tag users here, can't seem to manage to do that) is successfully using the external with Max8
So I'm asking if anybody out there (Jan M I hope you read this) is using the dmxusbpro external with Max8 and how can I do the same.
Thanks a lot

I don't think it is still possible to use Olaf's external, but there are abstractions built around [serial] replacing it. You should easily find links in this forum, like :

etc.
Beware : the Open DMX and the Pro are not the same interfaces!
Thank you, PDELGES
I was using an old version of the external and, after downloading a more "recent" one Max8 now loads it and sees the interface.
I still have to test it with proper lights but fingers crossed.
I-ll look at the links you kindly shared
Thanks!
