[ANSWERED] DMX out of Isadora using ETC Gadget?

[orozcom]

Hi, All,

I’m designing a workshop to show how audio levels can influence light intensities using Isadora. Previous Isadora patches have included Audio Watchers>dx DMX actors. I used to use an ENTTEC USB DMX Pro - which worked fine - but I was hoping to use an ETC Gadget II instead. I don’t have access to the ENTTEC box now.

Has anyone had any success with using the Gadget to receive DMX instructions directly from Isadora?

I have some more testing to do, but I’ve yet to have the Gadget even show up as a serial output option, whereas the ENTTEC box was plug-and-play.

Is there an alternative to doing this that I’m missing?

You can simply sent OSC commands to the ETC Eos software.

covers the basics, if you look at the resources that are included on the topic above you will see that you can also control channels

Thanks, all.

I did wind up going the OSC route. I haven't touched this material in a while, so it took a bit for my brain to adjust in the darkness.

But, yes:

In Isadora: OSC Transmitter to ETC Eos on the same Mac. Gadget is now outputting correct DMX as tested via a DMX tester. Fabulous!

Final hurdle was switching the OSC transmitter to "on" in Isadora.

Thanks for the support!
