Controlling other NON DMX devices

[dononeil]

Is there a way to interface other NON DMX devices, such as another serial interface device for relay control, into FreeStyler? I have a digital I/O device w/ relays attached that I use to turn off/on non DMX controllable devices (fog machines, fountains, etc..) and would like to program it along side my DMX lights, can FreeStyler do this? If not, is there any other software program that allows me to create 'device drivers' for non DMX interfaces?

Thanks!

Maybe you can connect those devices with dmx dimmer/switch packs

Unfortunalty no I cant. One of the devices is a digital output board that controls pneumatics, no way to do that from a dimmer pack.

I know there are DMX interfaces for doing digital I/O, but they are expensive and I already have stuff that works great. It's easy to interface with through a virtual serial port and ASCII text.
