Adding support to specify the network to be used #7

Closed macoss closed 7 years ago

macoss commented 7 years ago

Thank you @lschmierer for your work on this library. I'm new to Rust and I'm starting to work on some control code to use with my lighting network. I ran into an issue with testing code on my Mac that has a wired and wireless connection. The operating system was choosing the wireless interface. Thought this could be helpful for others. I would love any feedback on how this could be implemented better.

Thank you very much for your interest in this project. As you probably have seen, this library didn't received any updates for a pretty long time. When I wrote this code, I was totally new to Rust, too. So I don't really know how good the quality of the library actually is. In my opinion your code additions look fine, though. I think there is nothing that speaks against just merging it.

Once I had the vision of starting the implementation of the full ACN standard (maybe using the tokio async io stack, that evolved in the meantime since I worked on sACN), but since I don't have any actual projects needing this, I never done any work in this direction.

While I can merge this, I cannot publish a new version to crates.io at the moment. I won't have access to my computer for the next (at least one or two) weeks. But you can off cause just use the git url in your Cargo.toml in the meantime.

Hey Lucas,

I found the crate and am very interested in it. I’m a production director for a large church in the US. We have 12 church campuses and I’m starting to work on some A/V control code software and really liked what I was reading about Rust. I was a long time IT guy before switching over to the production world about 10 years ago and still enjoy coding.

I have been doing some testing with your can crate on two different sACN to DMX converters and it seems to be working well. I plan on starting small, by integrating the library with some GPIO code on a Raspberry PI for some wall controls at one of our buildings. As I go I might submit some more PRs if that is ok?

Long term I’m planning on working on a more general control solution for the production industry that I would open source and from what I can see your work will be great for handling the ACN output.

Sounds great!
