OLA command to turn off RDM for connected device. #1900

Open hyren5 opened 10 months ago

hyren5 commented 10 months ago

I am currently writing a software to update the firmware on my connected fixture and the firmware upload over ArtNet has a common issue where it will be interuptted by RDM.

On DMX Workshop there is an option to turn off RDM on a connected device. I looked through the documentation on ArtNet plugin and I was wondering what the command is to disable RDM on a connected fixture over the ArtNet Universe, so that my firmware upload program would be able to send the packets successfully.

Thank you for all of your help.

Regards, Brian

Hi Brian,

So is your fixture an RDM or an ArtRDM responder and an Art-Net node?

I've had a quick look at the spec and can't obviously see a command for that: https://art-net.org.uk/how-it-works/packet-summary-2/

Do you want to do a Wireshark packet capture and see if you can work out what it's actually doing?

FYI there's also an E1.37-4 firmware upload standard working it's way through to allow you to upload firmware via RDM which you might like to consider.

Hi Peter,

My fixture is an ArtRDM responder and it is also an Art-Net node.

I have attached a Wireshark packet capture that decodes the packets that are sent to the device when I am controlling it. Is there any existing guides or documentation for doing a firmware update to a device connected to OLA over the ArtNet plugin?

Thanks for the swift reply, Brian ArtNetCapture.pcapng.zip
