[ANSWERED] DMX how to resources & actors. Just begining my journey into izzy and DMX

Re: [DMX and Isadora](/topic/3237/dmx-and-isadora)

Hi,

I'm having some difficulties finding documentation or how to resources for integrating DMX into an Isadora project.

I have found some actors at the "ADD ONS" page. And I also found a forum post by Gunther from 2017 that had some info but some of the links seem to have expired.

So Im wondering....

if there are any other more up-to-date resources around that would be a good place to start from? and

What actors on the add on page would be good to start with. [I did find an actor on Github "ENTTEC-DMX-USB_lightcontrol.izz" that looks simple but I get nervous about downloading things from git-hub.]

All I am wanting to do is throw some symapathetic/complimentary lighting into a courtyard where I have a fairly simple projection of coloured objects. Perhaps responding to the different hues of the coloured objects perhaps. I think have access to an Enttec ODE MkII and Chauvet DJ D-fi(?) Hub unit for testing/development. I've seen Enttec mentioned in a few posts about izzy.

Currently on izzy 3 and financially challenged.

cheers

@video-architect Hello! I hope the included screenshot helps. I was running a workshop and wanted to demonstrate how LED lighting units can be controlled by Isadora + TouchOSC on an iPhone to provide realtime control of the color palette. I used an Enttec Din Ethergate 2 ethernet to DMX convertor.

Best wishes,

Do you have an interface for DMX yet?

You likely want either something Enttec compatible or something for ArtNet. Both work similar but slightly different (although you can swap the outputs once you know how these work)

My Add-on is a common starting point for Enttec interfacing, it has both a user actor and a demo file: TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - DX – DMX Universe – Enttec compatible
