Project description
Direct answer: picoArtnet2DMX is a compact Art-Net-to-DMX512 gateway. It receives lighting channel data from software running on a computer, extracts the selected Art-Net universe, stores the channel values in memory, and continuously regenerates them as a physical DMX512 signal. The input is Art-Net over UDP port 6454. The output is a DMX512 waveform carried through an RS-485 transceiver and XLR connector to fixtures such as dimmers, LED bars, moving lights, and other DMX-compatible equipment. This places the project between digital content and a physical environment. Software determines…
