dmxP512 : DMX for processing with enttec and lanbox devices

in Library and Tool Development • 2 years ago

Hi all,

I worked on a DMX integration for processing. I thought i would release it as a processing library so that everybody can benefit from it.

It supports both Enttec DMX pro usb and Lanbox (tested with the LCE model). The code is based on prodmx from Andres Colubri and on some code made by the guys at imal (thanks !). I merged everything in one common interface. I also added some features like buffering (to prevent network/serial congestion or lanbox crashes).

The dmxP512 library is available there : http://motscousus.com/stuff/2011-01_dmxP512/

comments and suggestions are welcome !

Hello,

I'm very interested by the artnet4j lib, but I haven't found any example or documentation to use classes and functions of this.

Any body can help me?

Thank in advance.

Hi motscousus,

I've been using dmxP512 with the DMX USB pro device and it works well... I am on MAC OSX Lion.

I am now trying to do the same with a open DMX USB (because it is cheaper and I will need to duplicate my installation). I have uninstalled the VCP driver " FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext" that I used for the DMX USB pro and installed the D2XX drivers that ENTTEC advices, provided by FTDIchip as well.

I could not make it work so far. The serial number of the open DMX USB device does not appear in my /dev directory so I can't initialize the dmxProSerialPort object of the library. It might be because of a bad installation of the D2XX driver or a conflict between the PID/VID of the two devices even if I am not sure to well understand how all of this works.

You say that the dmxP512 library works with the DMX USB pro, but there is no mention about the open DMX USB. Should I be able to make the dmxP512 work with the open DMX USB as well? I looked at the code of the library and I see no reason why I couldn't, I would like to be sure the problem comes from the drivers...

thanks for your help!

Hi,

if you cannot get the serial port to appear in /dev i'm afraid there is not much i can for you. Maybe you should look in a Open DMX USB forum or Enttec support.

Hi,

I have been reading your posts above, i am looking at creating a piece of control software that runs on a raspberry pi, i am also looking at using your libary above, my question is do you know if the interface will run on the pi? what driver would i need? would it just be the standard linux version?

Thanks

Josh
