| − | The Open Lighting Project is a multi-faceted effort aimed at accelerating the adoption of new, standardized control protocols, while also providing high quality, reliable, open software for the lighting industry. This site acts as a resource for anyone looking for information about DMX software and the associated control systems, as well as a variety of Open Source and Free lighting Software.

| |
| − | <div style="clear: left">
| |
| − | The [[OLA | Open Lighting Architecture]] provides a framework for distributing lighting control information. It supports many protocols such as E1.31 (sACN), ArtNet, ShowNet, Pathport & RDM and over over a dozen USB devices. It can run as a standalone service, which is useful for converting signals between protocols, or alternatively it can be used as the backend for [[:Category:Controllers | Controller Applications]]. OLA runs on a many different platforms including ARM, which makes it a perfect fit for low cost Ethernet to DMX gateways.

| |
| − | <div style="clear: left">
| |
| − | Testing RDM Responder used to involve manually sending commands and verifying the responses. Not any longer! The [[RDM_Responder_Testing | RDM Responder Tests]] automate all of this and provide a detailed breakdown of how well a responder complies with the [[E1.20]] (RDM) standard. This saves time during the product development process and raises the quality of RDM implementations across the industry.

| |
| − | <div style="clear: left">
| |
| − | The [http://www.raspberrypi.org/ Raspberry Pi] is one of the most popular platforms for running [[OLA]]. With the addition of a USB to DMX device, one can build a low cost, but fully functional Ethernet gateway. The [[OLA_Raspberry_Pi | OLA on Raspberry Pi]] tutorial has a step by step guide to installing OLA on the Pi.

| |
| − | <div style="clear: left">
| |
| − | Since this is an Open Source project, there is no commercial support for our products at this time. There are a number of ways of reaching the community though:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Primary User & Developer Discussion [http://groups.google.com/group/open-lighting Open Lighting Discuss] (typically a few messages per day).
| |
| − | * Announcements are posted to [http://groups.google.com/group/open-lighting-announce Open Lighting Announce] (low volume, typically 1-2 per month)
| |
| − | * RDM Testing Discussion [http://groups.google.com/group/rdm-testing RDM Testing].
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is also an [https://plus.google.com/u/1/communities/104181196257075553359 Open Lighting Community] on Google+. This is less OLA centric and more about sharing cool lighting projects people are working on.
