DMX512 binding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There should be a binding which implements the DMX512 protocol. A possible 
implementation could be http://code.google.com/p/artnet4j/ which seems to be 
able to communicate with DMX512 devices. At first the out-direction will be 
important.

Hi Thomas, 

I created a first version of a DMX binding using OLA, which is available in a 
clone. It's still a work in progress, but so far it allowed me to do the 
following from openHab:
 * switch led strips on/off (one color channel at the time)
 * change rgb intensity using a slider (one color channel at the time)
 * start cross-fading color scenes using a string command
If you already have your new USB dongle, don't hesitate to try it. All feedback 
& ideas for improvements are welcome.

Regards,

Davy

thanks Davy for driving this issue!

Hopefully will have time at weekend for testing :-)

I just refactored the binding so that all the libs are now embedded, so that it 
can be built using the regular build process and deployed as a single osgi 
bundle.
There is still an issue with fade durations I have to look into, but it's 
starting to look decent.
I noticed that I now have edit access to the wiki.  Can I go ahead and start a 
page for the dmx binding?

Sounds great!
Please feel free to add a wiki page at

Thanks Davy! I like your solution with the binding configurations very much - 
it fits nicely into the openHAB architecture and still provides many powerful 
DMX features as your wonderful examples show :-)
FYI: I have for the moment removed the DMX binding from the wiki menu again as 
it is not yet available in the main repo. Once we have pulled your code and the 
DMX binding is available on our CI server, I will add it again.

Is your implementation then ready to be reviewed and pulled? If so, I would 
assign this issue to Thomas for review - he is the best candidate as he can do 
live testing with his DMX hardware as well.

Thanks.  Glad you like it!  It's almost ready for review and pulling. Most of 
it is working and usable, but I'll probably need until the end of this week to 
perform more testing and iron out the last few bugs.

It took a little longer than planned, but the dmx binding is now ready for 
review and pulling.  Let me know if anything needs changing or a bug is found..
