So, I've built a processing script to control a bunch of DMX lights using an Open DMX compatible usb controller.

This library works like a charm inside Processing IDE, but I've ran into a problem while using the exported Application:

The application stop responding while opening the DMX connection (OpenDMX function).

Why I've tested:

• ftd2xx.dll version and location
• using both java from the jdr or the internal distro from processing
• changing COM ports
• changing PC
• disabling UAC
  To be noted that none of the above options worked.

What have worked and solved this issue:

• copying the 3 java source files from this library (OpenDmx.java, FTDIException.java and FTDI_D2XX.java) to my processing sketch folder
• commenting the first line of each file (package ...)
• commenting the import opendmx.*; in the main sketch file
• exporting the app again
  voilá, it works :)

Hope to help someone in the future with this info.

Cheers

I know this library is only for windows but what would it take to have it work with osx? I'm using it fine with win 10 and a small cheap USB dmx device I bought online. But I want it to work on osx but haven't been able to get any existing libraries to work with the device and processing.

The device works with other dmx control software like JV lighting.
