OpenDmx to SPI conversion possible?

[gavspav]

I see that you can use older Arduino's as an OpenDMX device.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to take this incoming DMX info and convert it to spi data to drive an LED strip.

I guess I'm asking if the Arduino still functions as an Arduino if it is being an OpenDMX device?

Thanks

I can't see why it shouldn't work
