Receiving DMX
Ed
Does any have a solution like Dmxsimple for Transmitting DMX?
I have tried http://blog.wingedvictorydesign.com/2009/03/20/receive-dmx-512-with-an-arduino/
but not with any success.

DmxSimple _does_ transmit DMX. DmxSimple does not, however, receive
DMX - which is what I suspect you meant.

Receiving DMX is tricky on Arduino, as it is pretty much impossible
without altering the Arduino internal libraries. The problem is that
receiving DMX needs a dedicated serial port (software serial solutions
aren't fast enough), but the Arduino libraries take control of the
only serial port themselves. The Winged Victory Design system makes
alterations to the Arduino libraries to get around this.
You have already discovered the best solution out there, which many
people are using successfully.
If the Arduino group allow libraries access to the serial port
interrupt vectors, there is a good chance an easy to use DMX receiving
library will appear shortly afterwards.
