Asian Node Control – Update
Posted by JEC on October 15th, 2009
It’s been a busy couple weeks…
News: we have the beginnings of an Art-Net interface for the new 4-wire nodes from Asia. For being totally unoptimized, it’s running fairly well. The Art-Net input code currently barfs if more than a single universe of data is present on the wire, or if a single universe is updated at more than ~ 10 Hz.
However, it’s very satisfying to see the node appear and properly complete the ‘handshake’ process with Artistic License’s ‘DMX Workshop’ software suite.
We now have an official Vendor / Product ID from AL as well.
Next step is to streamline the code, remove the ugly bits, and increase throughput to support 2-4 universes at ~40 Hz refresh.
Onward! Thanks for visiting.
