The idea was to possibly use the Arduino like a DMX USB Pro for output. But, the best DMX out method uses the Arduino's serial post interrupts. You cannot use the serial port when outputting DMX.

The examples included with LXConsole all use an Arduino with an ethernet shield. This allows the Arduino to output DMX from ArtNet or streaming ACN.

If you're doing something else with the Arduino other than DMX, the same ideas could be used to control it via OSC rather than through the serial port connection.
