An Artemis forum thread includes discussion. It is not enclosed in anything, but you can't beat the price.

$23.95, or $19.97 "pre-season" (before holiday rush) but currently out of stock. Ships to US only, but works with many re-shippers.

Holida圜oro Cable - Same cable as the FTDI cable, but comes with the Cat5 connector already attached and a Cat5 connector. This can be the standard 5- or 3- pin XLR connector it can also be connected to a RJ45 Cat5 connector.

Comes with 5-pin DMX Cable plug, compatible with most commercial gear.įTDI USB-RS485 Cable ( £21.50) - Contains the USB-Serial chip, you'll need to attach your own connector. No technician at all during performances.Here are a number of confirmed Artemis compatible USB-DMX interfaces.ĮNTTEC Open ($70 USD) - Plug and play, not too expensive. My problem is that we control everything from stage during the play by pushing buttons connected to GPIO pins. With this added hysteresis I have no problems.Īlso, if you control your play from the screen with a mouse you are ok. You want to read the pin 4 times during 200ms to be SURE that it is pushed or released before you trigger the lights. The problem is that if you connect push buttons to the GPIO pins you do not want the scene to be triggered by a glitch that takes a few nanoseconds.

As soon as I get a little time I will make a pull request to Massimo for including my Raspberry Pi GPIO hysteresis patch to QLC+. My believe is that the glitches are coming through the power supply. I have had 2 sudden glitches during the last 2 years. What bothers me is spurious triggers on GPIO pins. For normal theatre plays you mainly need a few scenes and some sound effects. As well as any cheap uDMX dongles from ebay. The Entec compatible USB dongle should also work with the Pi. But you could check the performance with the Entec dongle first just to see if there is any problems with controlling the lights in sync with the music or video outputs. I have never tested it with a 26 pin Raspberry Pi as I don't own any.Ĭurrently I am running my shows on Pi3 but I have also used PiZero last summer and I assume it has about the same processing power as your Pi B. Of course you lose the HAT eeprom and part of the GPIO buttons due to the missing pins. My DiscoHAT has the option to be equipped with either a 40 pin or a 26 pin header. The recommended use is to design the show on a laptop and later run it on a Pi.Ībout the hardware.

If the screen is smaller like 7" you will get into troubles in some windows as all options are not visible. With a normal size screen (TV) you should be able to set up the scenes, chases, shows etc. You do not need anything else to create and run the shows. If you use QLC+ it has a windowed user interface that you can use directly with a keyboard and a mouse. Sorry if this has been covered before, but it seems like a different request to what I've been reading today.

Happy to spend around £40 to buy the DMX breakout board if such a compatible device exists. I have previously borrowed an Entec compatible USB to DMX dongle and used a spare laptop, but these won't always be available to me. I want to know if I can use the Pi as the controller and local interface with a screen and mouse for a simple show control. I've been trying to read up on this, and lots of posts I've read suggest that the Pi is used as a controller that can be accessed by a tablet or a web browser. Run some simple DMX lighting control shows - (One universe and Max 32 channels - i.e. Purchase a DMX add on board to 'OUTPUT' the DMX to a single cable to my lights & dimmers.

Run some lighting control software such a QLightController+ I have a Pi (Original Model B I think) gathering dust, bought when they first came out and wondered if I could do the following:
