- This unit can control DMX fixtures using a PC and USB interface
- Test software and "DMX Light Player" software is included, a DLL is provided to write your own software
- Furthermore there is a stand-alone test function that outputs all 512 channels at a time, with adjustable levels
- Kit includes:
- nice enclosure
- USB cable
- CD with: test software, DLL for own developments, free DMX light player
This is actually a very poor interface and not recommended. See http://forum.velleman.be/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2018&hilit=vm116. Due to the pic only processing 8 bytes of information at a time, the frame rates for a full non-0 universe of dmx data is around 1.6 per second.
There is now a much better work in development. Please see http://k8062forlinux.sourceforge.net/doc.php. There's a daemon-like program that works as a driver. There's still more work to be done on it, and some tweaking seems necessary in places in the code, but it's well documented and has worked very well for me.
