Example2-DMXInput needs all DMX channels in universe to have a value? about sparkfundmx HOT 3 OPEN

Hi there, apologies for the long response time!

In the example, do you have numChannels set to the default of 1, or have you changed it to 512?

The current implementation of this library requires the host to send all numChannels in a single burst, partial transmissions aren't supported. This is to help improve synchronization, and is implemented in this check here:

In the example, do you have numChannels set to the default of 1, or have you changed it to 512?

Does that mean one has to simply set numChannels to 512 in both example code Example1-DMXOutput and Example2-DMXInput ?

When I did that on two DMX shields with ESP32 boards, the DMX transmission was not received on the shield with Example2-DMXInput code. (see my issue here.

Maybe a few more code examples that work with numChannels = 512, the full DMX channel range, should be added to the library repository ?

This may clarify how the library works when using the DMX shield in an environment with many lamps, were professional DMX gear is used to control the DMX shield and all other lamps in the DMX chain...

@sfe-SparkFro I had set the numChannels to 512 but it did not read it also with this setup.
