-Pretty much all of the hardware is based around standard MBHP modules, the only addition is my simple TTL Serial <-> RS485 interface the schematic of which is below. I made it on a 6x6 piece of strip (vero) board (I didn't bother with header connectors):+Pretty much all of the hardware is based around standard MBHP modules, the only addition is my simple TTL Serial <-> RS485 interface the schematic of which is below.

-{{http://www.lansystems.co.uk/​images/​dmx/IIC-DMX_IF.png}}+After reading the RDM spec, I realise that a simple BIAS circuit will also be required, this is only 2 extra resistors (+ 120ohm terminator) so I will post a modified circuit soon.
