Good evening all. i want few suggestion regarding dmx. whether fastled library supports dmx. As of now, i know how to set pin for data line for led strip. coming to dmx, how to connect to it. I searched through google and got the information that,
arduino uno > max485(for transmitting dmx signals) ->whetever distance below 1200 metres through twisted cable (2 wire) -----> max485 (for receiving side)–> arduino uno(slave) --> ws2811 led strip.
By, using the above we can connect the n number of slaves for controlling thousands of leds in identical manner with out compromising the distance to be covered.
I need ur help to figure out, which is correct way for wiring and the library for dmx. if possible show me a sample program for it. I really need to drive thousands of leds.
What have you tried so far? If you have a FastLED program you are working on and are having trouble put it on http://gist.github.com and share the link.
I have made my own DMX (ArtNet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art-Net ) implementations for the ESP8266 for several projects. Its relatively easy to omplement. Create a UDP listener that polls for a 530Byte packet on port 6454 . The 512 channel data starts at index 18. There are tons of Android and IOS apps as well as VJ applications such as Modul8 that work really well with artnet.
