ESP32-ArtNet-to-DMX
Per la versione in italiano clicca qui.
This is a simple ArtNet to DMX converter based on an ESP32 and two MAX485 modules.
This is a brief introduction to my project published on ElettronicaIN #276.
It is based on the sketch DMX_write by Mitch Weisbord and on the sketch ArtNetWifiNeoPixel by rstephan.

ArtnetWifi artnet;
const char* ssid = "MyArtNetNetwork";
const char* password = "MyArtNetNetwork";Modify the sketch, by just changing the variables ssid and password, adapting them to your network.
You can decide to use DHCP or static IP. To disable DHCP just uncomment the line #define DHCP_DISABLED and set the variables local_IP, gateway, subnet and (optionally) primaryDNS and secondaryDNS.
Feel free to edit the sketch, to improve the functionalities and to send pull requests.
