udmx-artnet

A simple ArtNet proxy for the Anyma uDMX USB to DMX512 Controller and generic clones

You can pick up cheap clones for around AU$30. Look for the ones with a silver USB memory-stick type dongle, and 3-pin XLR connector.

Requirements

• LibArtnet - https://github.com/OpenLightingProject/libartnet
• LibUSB (apt-get install libusb-dev)

Usage

  udmx-artnet [-v] [-d] [-a <ip-address>]
     -v              verbose, display interesting runtime info
     -d              debug, display debugging info
     -a <ip-address> IP address to listen on (defaults to all non-loopback interfaces)

Acknowledgements

Inspired by Daniel Mack's USB2DMX proxy for FTDI DMX adapters

uDMXArtnet from ilLUTZmination.de did what I needed, but used a constant 2% CPU even when it wasn't doing anything. There was also no author details, no source and no license supplied.

The code here is based largely on combining these two projects:

• Simon Newton's Artnet RDM proxy
• Markus Baertschi's commandline uDMX utility
