4 months ago Hi @dhelleberg ,
Yeah, you need the USB DMX plugin, rather than the FTDI one (you'll need to disable the FTDI one too). It should then work as expected.
Depending on your exact model of Eurolite you might need to enable the Mk2 option too. See here for more: https://docs.openlighting.org/ola/conf/ola-usbdmx.conf.html

4 months ago Thanks, i disabled the FTDI interface, enabled the usb-dmx interface. I have the following config:
enable_eurolite_mk2 = true enabled = true libusb_debug_level = 4
also tried it with enable_eurolite_mk2 = false. But I never get an output device. The interface is listed in the device tree here:
/dev/ttyUSB0
I have no clue how to proceed from here...

olad/AvahiDiscoveryAgent.cpp:236: State for OLA Server._http._tcp,_ola, group 0x55cdc24620 changed to AVAHI_ENTRYSorry @dhelleberg . I forgot this isn't in a release yet (it only went in as part of #1556 ), so you'll need to compile from scratch unfortunately.
There are some work in progress instructions here you can follow, just use the Debian/Ubuntu instructions: https://github.com/OpenLightingProject/website/blob/f68f1b08d5046f34a0cf0ffc14db51c5d5a3f925/download_and_install/compiling_from_source.md
If you use the following configure line, it should do what it looks like you need (I'm assuming you're ultimately trying to do Art-Net to Eurolite?):
./configure --disable-all-plugins --enable-usbdmx --enable-artnet --enable-dummy

4 months ago Hi Peter, thanks for the hint. I compiled olad master on the pi using your configure parameters. The ola-usbdmx.conf now looks like this:
enable_eurolite_mk2 = true
enabled = true
eurolite_mk2_serial = A5066G6Q
libusb_debug_level = 4I also tried it without the serial and with enable_eurolite_mk2 = false but I can't get it to work :(
I tried to hotplug USB, and also different USB ports... but there's never an output device shown.
Is there a way to make sure that olad runs on the latest (compiled) version?
Or maybe I'm missing USB access rules? I've added this:
/etc/udev/rules.d# cat 10-local.rules
# udev rules for ftdi devices

You can:
sudo apt-get remove ola
Which will mean only the compiled version exists. Also in a more ad-hoc way, running ./olad/olad -l 4 from within the directory where you compiled OLA will launch your version.
Or maybe I'm missing USB access rules?
Good call, but you'll at least get some messages saying it couldn't access it if that was the problem.
Our udev rules for Debian are here, but it seems that one has escaped: https://github.com/OpenLightingProject/ola/blob/master/debian/ola.udev

4 months ago Oh yes! It finally works! I think that i was running the old binary from the release instead of the compiled version. I'm not exactly sure why, as I removed the package with sudo apt-get remove ola before... but I finally have the artnet 2 eurolite bridge running.
thanks a lot for your help!

4 months ago Excellent, glad to hear you got it sorted @dhelleberg !
Hi, I'm running ola 0.10.9 on a raspberry pi and I have a Eurolite DMX512-Pro connected via USB. I deactivated all plugins except dummy, Artnet and ftdidmx From the logs (attached) I thinkt that the device was discovered correctly, I could also patch the device as output to a universe.
But changing DMX Values on that universe will not result in sending the data to the device. Also the LED on the device is flashing RED which is an indicator that the device is not initialized correctly.
Does the Eurotlite needs some special treatment? Should I use a different plugin then the FTDI? I'm happy to support debugging or testing patches Thanks for any help.
