OLA Gentoo

Jannis:

If you do or plan to use OLA on a Gentoo-system, please vote for the mentioned bug or at least add yourself to the CC-list. This way the Gentoo-devs see how much interest there is in a package and it might get added to the official portage tree faster. Thanks.

There are many ways to get OLA running on a Gentoo-system. Here are two of them:

== Use the ebuilds from Gentoo's Bugzilla ==
* Make sure you have a local portage overlay: [http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Local_Overlays http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Local_Overlays]
* Download the ebuild(s) from Bugzilla: [https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429576 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429576] and save them in /usr/local/portage/app-misc/ola/
* Follow the overlay-guide to digest the ebuilds (fetches the sources and creates the Manifest-file)
* If you want to use the live-ebuild (ola-9999) you will need to keyword the ebuild (**)
* If you use Gentoo stable (amd64, arm or x86), you will need to keyword the ebuild (~amd64, ~arm or ~x86)
* Emerge ola

== Use Peter Stuge's overlay ==
As he has written on OLA's mailing list [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/open-lighting/UI3x8cD1o1Y https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/open-lighting/UI3x8cD1o1Y]:

<pre>
USE=git emerge layman && layman -a stuge && emerge ola
</pre>

Here are some more detailed instructions:
* add 'app-portage/layman git' to /etc/portage/package.use if not exists
* emerge layman
* add 'source "/var/lib/layman/make.conf"' to /etc/make.conf after any lines which set PORTDIR_OVERLAY (last line of make.conf is fine)
* layman -a stuge
* add keywords to /etc/portage/package.keywords as neccessary for your ~arch or for the live ebuild
* emerge ola

Anyma uDMX

2012-07-30T20:39:24Z

Jannis: Added infos about clones

Link: http://anyma.ch/research/udmx/ <br>
{{Features|tx=yes|win=yes|osx=yes|linux=yes}}
[[Image:udmx5pin.jpg|right]]

'''Anyma uDMX''' comes with a open firmware, which is rare. The USB communication is handled by the firmware instead of a separate chip. This must be very cheap to build!

While the original device sells for over 200 CHF, there are two clones that use the same firmware but no SMD-devices:

- http://www.illutzmination.de/udmx.html (page german/english)

- http://orikson.piranho.de/pa/uDMX/ (page german)

These two devices are even opto-isolated and use a DC/DC-converter so no risk for the PC/Laptop and no ground loops. Can be built for about 20-30 Euros.

Hardware:
* From USB to [[DMX]] (one way DMX)
* All the electronics is inside the XLR - two smd IC's: An AVR microcontroller and a RS485 driver
* The DMX data is buffered and the transmission is timed by the microcontroller
* USB powered
* No galvanic isolation
<br>
Software:
* Supported by [[OLA]] on Linux & Mac
* Supported by [[QLC]] (on Windows and probably also Linux and Mac OS, but not well tested)
* An external object for [http://www.cycling74.com/ Max/MSP] (OSX)
* A console app for Linux/OSX
* [[MIDI]] control via a OSX app
* There's an example how to control the console app from php scripts (seems easy)
* Free firmware. The DMX part is GPL, the USB part from [http://www.obdev.at Objective Development] is "open" but all changes belongs to them.
