uDMX is a simple and small DMX driver for USB. The construction of uDMX is a copy from [ a n y m a ] - uDMX - tiny bus powered USB-DMX interface. A huge advantage of this project is buffering and timing by the microcontroller, powering from the USB, support on many systems and available source code.
Support for DMX is only one way (transmission).
Only galvanic isolation is missing, but there are versions with it. ilLU[TZ]minator - uDMX Mod.
The board was redesigned for the DIP part.
The cost of housing is low.
The software has to communicate with the driver. DMXLink can be additionally developed.
Program “Lightning” needs more modifications such as additional options type “Launch DMX Link with Lightning” and “Close DMX Link after closing last Lightning instance”.
It was necessary to write a new module out_dmx.dll in order to make new messages sending.
The program can listen for other programs than the Lightning. The following procedure in Delphi is used to send messages.
Code:
var
hwnddmx :Thandle;
begin
hwnddmx := FindWindow(nil,'fDMXLink');
sendmessage(hwnddmx,WM_USER,0,value+(channel*1000);
end;As you can see in the pictures, DMXLink supports three drivers:
- uDMX, dedicated to this program, tested, the board was redesigned to DIP systems
- dab-system, sab-system, OpenDMX (based on FT232)
- Velleman K8062
And here some information about the Lightning. At the beginning, the program was very similar to DiscoLitez. But it is more powerful, above all faster. Thanks to DMX support, it gains a new possibilities. The principle of operation is frequently appreciated. Concept of the Lightning differs from other programs, it is designed to process the data, but it also has programs and scenes. Recent added features include support for MIDI controllers. New modules (blocks) and a touch screen can still be created.
