Art-Net interface for controlling DMX devices via WiFi or Ethernet.


🛒 Parts

Count Part
1x ESP32
2x RS485
1x W5500-ETH
1x LED-Button
1x ♂️-DMX-socket
1x ♀️-DMX-socket

Additionally you need: some wires, soldering equipment, 3D-printer, small screws, shrink tubing, hot glue gun


📱 Implemented microcontrollers

  • Lolin S2 mini
  • ESP 32 WROOM
  • ESP 32 C3

For other microcontrollers you may need to adjust the platformio.ini


🔌 Wiring

You have to short-circuit R0 on the RS485 boards to enable the termination resistor required for DMX before the first and after the last device in line.

🚀 Installation

  1. make sure you have PlatformIO installed
  2. open the project folder in PlatformIO
  3. click Upload Filesystem Image
  4. click Upload and Monitor
  5. 🏁 you are done 🎉

📦 Case

All print files (STL, STEP, X_T) can be found in assets/case. Alternatively you can view the project on OnShape where you can export the files in a format you like.

⚙️ Default config

To reset the settings, hold down the button and connect the ESP to the power supply, the LED will flash quickly. After 3 seconds the LED should light up static and the settings are reset. If you release the button early you abort the reset and the LED flashes slowly.
