[java-dev] Help! Need to format list for udp ASAP!

Hi all, I need to ASAP be able to format a list of numbers to go thru the mxj.udp.send object. The patch is ready, it will send a list of about 400 RGB values in DMX format to a set of boards that will run LED's. Everything is fine with the lists and all but the format comes through as ASCII instead of the desired BYTES as numbers from 0 - 255. I have great washes of colors from a cool jit.bfg and some other manipulations, the only problem is the formatting of the lists!!

It *has* to be the udp.send, so that it's wireless over Ethernet, otherwise I'd use jit.net.send which works great.

So-----HOW do you tell mxj.net.send to send a list of numbers (a 1 as a start code, followed by a bunch of RGB triplet bytes, one triplet for each LED) to go out AS IS without coming out as ASCII -- the values, plus spaces, etc..? What am I missing?

We can go below 256 and use atoi or iota or whatever if need be, but I'm sure there is a different fix...

This is for (what could be) a really nice LED installation in a wedding coming up this weekend... it will be gorgeous if we can get past this damn formatting hurdle!!

THANK YOU -- Can you tell I'm desperate??
