  • Magicq/enttec USB dmx Pro issues

    You won’t be able to use both universes usb connection. But I use my own mkII via Ola running on a virtual machine and a unicast artnet connection. Never had an issue with this setup and it allows to use both universes. This could help solving you crash issue…
  • ArtNet Node

    You could in fact une an open DMX. You need to setup an ola server (https://www.openlighting.org/ola/ ) which would read the artnet input and convert it to the open DMX.
  • Hardware solution for touch-operated DMX lights controller
    1 project | /r/embedded | 10 Jan 2023
    https://www.openlighting.org/ola/ is a nice library which can talk to a lot of different things (USB / various Ethernet protocols). It is pretty easy to include into a python script as well. Then you could do the UI stuff in python and rely on OLA for the DMX output.
