Anyone here have experience creating DMX (the lighting proticol) buffers with node? I'm having some trouble crafting my message packet and would love some help.
Here's a gist of what I've got so far https://gist.github.com/evantahler/9755268' --- I need help talking to the Enttec Open DMX USB<http://www.enttec.com/index.php?main_menu=Products&pn=70303> DMX controller. I feel that I'm very close, and only have trouble with forming the DMX buffer itself (starting on line 101)<https://gist.github.com/evantahler/9755268#file-dmx-js-L101-L123> - The excellent fdti <https://github.com/KABA-CCEAC/node-ftdi> package for node easly fins the device and can connect to it. - if you are on Maverics, you need to unload the built-in OSX FTDI driver with sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI - The DMX device relies on the computer to continuously send data (there is no onboard clock) - DMX operates at about 40 fames/sec, so we send the universe every ~20 ms (the exact frequency shouldn't matter, as DMX devices will keep their last state until the next signal) - The DMX start/stop codes, baudrate, etc have been confirmed and validated by both this ruby<https://github.com/crux/enttec-dmx-usb-pro-tools/blob/master/lib/enttec-dmx-usb-pro-tools/rdmx.rb> and node<https://github.com/wiedi/node-dmx/blob/master/drivers/enttec-usb-dmx-pro.js> package - I can confirm that I can talk to the dmx device and the hardware works by using this OSX product <http://lightning-dmxcontrol.com/> - I can "reach" the dimmer pack, as when I send a signal, it does register a DMX signal... hence my supposition that the message is malformed. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
