DMX ligthing #247

Open maitredede opened 7 years ago

maitredede commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Integration of DMX lights can be a feature to implement, but I don't know how I can do it with Aurora. I write it here if someone wants to give ideas. I can be as easy as #244 or more complete (many lights to drive).

Basic example :

A cheap USB-DMX adapter : http://stevenbreuls.com/2013/05/diy-usb-dmx-dongle-interface-for-under-10/
A DMX light : http://www.dx.com/p/professional-4-channel-86-led-rgb-stage-light-w-dmx512-sound-master-slave-control-black-271947
Some wiring.

I have already written a simple DMX class to drive this light (and potentialy other DMX items).

"Aurora has full stage support, used at IEM" xD

Yeah, I don't know why this needs to be added. It's neat, but almost nobody has these lights set up at home. I understand adding support for Phillips HUE, but not stage lights.

With that said, I won't stop you if you sent me s PR with this. I just don't see myself buying these stage lights.

Hyperion has support for DMX setups (Hue as well btw) so once I add in support for that you can attach them to it if you want, that way you can also control them via other apps (Android / iOS / Windows) as well and not just Aurora.

Do very little coding on Hyperion myself so can always ask on our board there ( hyperion-project.org ) if a setup isn't supported but afaik DMX is pretty generic.
