Maximum number of devices #20

Closed viquiuxd closed 3 years ago

viquiuxd commented 3 years ago

In geopix 2.0 we are limited to 16 dmx out devices?

EnviralDesign commented 3 years ago

ya, 16 is arbitrary but should be more than enough - could you expand some on your setup so I can understand more about how things are getting constrained?

There is a television studio where they plan to mount about 50 Artnet nodes. I wanted to see if I could map it using Geopix 2.0 but if this is the case I think I could use version 1.0.21 where it seems to me that there are no device limitations

oh wow, yeah that's a good chunk! I don't mind upping the limit I just want to get a feel for why it's being done that way. good information to have. What type of artnet node are they using, out of curiosity?

I wonder, could you blast the GeoPix data to 255.255.255.255 so that all nodes are receiving the same thing, and taking what they need? It's obviously not as efficient from a network standpoint, but could potentially allow you to address one artnet slot.

I'll see about getting this limit updated anyways, 64 seems like a good number but I might not have all of the buttons visible at once, or something like that.

Will keep ya posted via this thread.

Same issue, but more just because each WLED instance has its own IP. I have many battery powered "sticks" (25+) that run WLED and it would be nice if this was maybe 64 instead of 16.
