Anyma

Linux

You need a udev rule like this in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

# udev rules file for the anyma dmx device
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="16c0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05dc", GROUP="plugdev"

ArtNet

If you've having problems sending ArtNet data is may be because your receivers don't support ArtNet II and/or send ArtPollReply messages. You can force OLA to always broadcast data by changing ~/.ola/ola-artnet.conf to contain:

 always_broadcast = true

Eurolite USB DMX512 PRO

Linux

Sometime the cdc_acm kernel module claims the device. If this happens you'll see errors like "Cannot claim device" and/or "another process has device opened for exclusive access". To avoid this you can remove the module (rmmod). A udev rule like what is used for the Anyma device should also work.

Mac

Install the KEXT.

Open DMX USB

There are two options, the 'Open DMX' plugin that requires the kernel module and the native FTDI driver.

Linux

If you're using the FTDI Driver, you need to have libftdi installed before you run ./configure. You also need to add the following udev rule

ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0403", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001",  GROUP:="dialout", MODE:="0660"

StageProfi

This comes in two flavors, a USB model and an Ethernet/IP model.

 device = /dev/ttyUSB0
 device = 192.168.1.250

USB Pro

Mac

Make sure you install the drives: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

After a restart run:

 ls /dev/cu.usbserial-*

Make sure your ~/.ola/ola-usbpro.conf file matches the path above:

 device_dir = /dev
 device_prefix = ttyUSB
 device_prefix = cu.usbserial-

i.e. Look for devices at /dev/ttyUSB* , /dev/cu.usbserial-*

OLA also comes with a tool to update the firmware on a USB Pro:

 ./tools/usbpro_firmware -d /dev/cu.usbserial-0000101D -f <firmware_file>

USBDMX2

Linux

You need a udev rule like this in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

# udev rules file for the usbdmx2 dmx device
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0962", GROUP="plugdev"

There is an issue where the device isn't detected correctly the first time. You may need to restart OLA once the DMX Transmit led comes on.

Mac

There is an issue where the device isn't detected correctly the first time. You may need to restart OLA once the DMX Transmit led comes on.

Velleman VM166 / K8062

Mac

If you're installed from source you'll need the codeless KEXT which is available here. If you installed OLA from the mac binary package this is already included.

Linux

You need a udev rule like this in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

# udev rules file for the velleman dmx device
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10cf", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8062", GROUP="plugdev"

Then make sure the user olad runs as is a member of plugdev.
