The Open Lighting Project has moved!
We've launched our new site at www.openlighting.org. This wiki will remain and be updated with more technical information.

Note 1): Support through the Linux kernel module from Erwin Rol, as detailed in LLA, OpenDMX USB and Q Light Controller Tutorial.
Unsupported USB devices:
- Peperoni Rodin1 (but this is supported directly by QLC
- Peperoni USBDMX21
- [[Anyma uDMX]
- USB DMX
- Sandsys UMX2
- Sandsys UMX4
- Velleman K8062 (no developer info available?)
Suggestions for content:
- I have difficulties to track the flow of data from it is fetched from the USB Pro until it is printed to the console by the app lla_usbpro. Some diagrams over the structure and data flow diagrams, or text that gives a good overview would be nice
- What is the structure of the plugins?
- What is the interface between the LLA core and LLA plugins?
- What is the interface between the LLA core and other apps/clients to LLA like QLC?
- What is it with the hidden web server?
How is functionality split between the usbpro plugin and the example program?
