In this article, we demonstrate how to create a compact and practical Arduino DMX512 controller that can be used to operate a smoke machine with DMX or for testing purposes. Arduino Mega, Arduino UNO, and other similar devices can be utilized with minor modifications. Only a few cheap components are utilized. The setup includes 6 […]
The goal of this project was to make a DMX-Controlled plug box which would allow on-stage effects or devices to be triggered remotely from the lighting console. This could potentially eliminate the need for a separate control system and operator backstage. This controller could be used in a wide variety of applications including: -Triggering FX
I’ve settled on the lighting industry standard of DMX as my overall control protocol as I explore the world of blinky lights. This universal control method is electrically robust, radio transmissible, and flexible enough for my needs (not to mention the needs of major concert, theatrical, and entertainment venues.) There are a variety of DMX
