Default Any DALI experts out there?

Ugh. I hate it when manufacturers do that!

And I have just looked up the price of a USB to RS 485 cable. It's a
good job I was sat down when I did.


USB to RS485 ought not to be too bad - they are fairly common. £1-2
on fleabay, or £20 for a good FTDI one from RS.

USB to DALI is a different matter! They price gouge because they can,
because they aren't commonly available. And probably because the
standards organisations charge a fortune for a copy of the standard,
too.

Now tech support say that the DIP switch configuration is over ridden by
a DALI command, but I am going to try the resistor method.......


Hmm. Overridden for how long, I wonder?
