USB to DMX interface #1923

Closed JimmyBinoculars closed 1 year ago

JimmyBinoculars commented 1 year ago

Hello, can anyone recommend me a USB to DMX inteface (preferably under £100 or $100) that would work with ola.

Please note I live in the UK so I would like to buy from places like amazon, gear4music, pmt or any other brand that will ship here for relatively cheap (under £30).

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it has to be DMX512

We've an FAQ for that @JimmyBinoculars https://www.openlighting.org/ola/get-help/ola-faq/#What_are_the_recommended_USB_Device_to_use_with_OLA

If you want further opinion, then people would need to know whether you want DMX input, output or both and whether you need RDM support or not?

Oh yeah looks good, thanks.

No worries. The list is quite old now, but I suspect most of those manufacturers will make equivalent devices now (although a chunk of stuff is going more IP than USB based). Do get in touch if you need further clarity around interfaces.
