Support for DMX output with USB to DMX? #120

Open nt2ds opened 2 years ago

nt2ds commented 2 years ago

I mean for example ArtNet to DMX on an Enttec Open DMX or sACN to DMX

Hey @nt2ds, Yea it is possible with our OLA-Backend. You can find the documentation here: https://github.com/cbdevnet/midimonster/blob/master/backends/ola.md

I am using windows and I've tried using OLA on the Debian WSL terminal but my USB had many problems (I had posted the error in the OLA forum https://groups.google.com/g/open-lighting/c/tv9XZNX1Xcc) but I will try again

And I closed the issue by mistake re opening it now

I tried again but no luck :< Could you help me resolve my problem with OLA since I am getting no answer in the forum?

Creating an additional backend for specific devices is definitely possible (and with the proper documentation, which I think exists for the Enttec Interface if I recall correctly, even somewhat easy). However, I don't have that hardware and so I'm limited in testing.

One thing you could conceivably do is create a minimal tool that ingests ArtNet and drives the interface from that. For example, heres a project that does this for the DMX4All interfaces: https://github.com/jduepmeier/dmx4all-artnet
