If only that were the case.
I actually don't have Renard boards, I have home built junk that uses the renard protocol.
Back when i first got into this I built my own boards as cheap as possible, just to learn how to do it.
Its based around the Parallax SX chip, and is as bare bones as it gets (and ugly too).
They have worked for years now. Seems when i pull them out of storage the last 2 years at least 1 has a bad pin, so i just grab a new SX chip, flash it and put it in. This is probably due to the fat that the serial line is straight from 1 chip to the next over about 15 feet of unshielded wire.
I would never build such junk now, but it was a good way to learn how not to do things. :-)
While yes i could probably mode them over to DMX, I think i would rather just build a converter.
Seems to be the path of least resistance.
