I'm using the dmxsend external for a project using the enttec dmx usb pro.

an argument sets the number of DMX inputs so for 4 inputs would look like this:

[dmxsend 1 2 3 4]

Problem is, I want to use 120 inputs and when the external is created the inputs are squashed together making them impossible to connect.

is there a way of making the box wider? maybe a text wrap parameter in PD?

Don't know if it is the best solution, but what worked for me was something like this:

[whatever 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 -------------------------------]

And maybe you should make 10 objects with 12 outputs/inputs.

yeah that works up to a point but after 30 or so inputs they are too close together to connect.

I cant create more than one object in this case, the second dmxsend external will not connect to the dmx usb pro as the COM port is already used by the first instance.

I just fixed this by entering 36 into the font size, this spreads the inputs allowing connection. I now have 120 inputs.
