Constructor Detail

DmxP512

public DmxP512(processing.core.PApplet papplet)

Uses default universe size(512) and buffered sending strategy

Parameters:

papplet - : daddy

DmxP512

public DmxP512(processing.core.PApplet papplet,
       int universeSize)

Uses default buffered sending strategy

Parameters:

papplet - : daddy

universeSize - : size of the dmx universe (number of channels)

DmxP512

public DmxP512(processing.core.PApplet papplet,
       int universeSize,
       boolean buffered)

Creates the dmxP512 object. the interface(s) used must still be setup using the correct method.

Parameters:

papplet - : daddy

universeSize - : size of the DMX universe (number of channels)

buffered - : use a buffer before sending. if false frames are sent directly.

Method Detail

setupDmxPro

public void setupDmxPro(java.lang.String dmxProSerialPortName)

set up the DMX output for use with DMX USB Pro Enttenc interface.

Parameters:

dmxProSerialPortName - : port name com1 or "/dev/stxx" on unix, "/dev/tty.usbserial-ENQ9C839" on mac, "COM4" on windows. keep in mind that case in important (COM4 and not com4). if you see null pointer exceptions during sending of serial messages, mostlikely you entered the serial port name wrong.

setupDmxPro

public void setupDmxPro(java.lang.String dmxProSerialPortName,
               int dmxProBaudRate)

set up the dmx output for use with DMX USB Pro Enttenc interface

Parameters:

dmxProSerialPortName - : port name com1 or "/dev/stxx" on unix, "/dev/tty.usbserial-ENQ9C839" on mac, "COM4" on windows. keep in mind that case in important (COM4 and not com4). if you see null pointer exceptions during sending of serial messages, mostlikely you entered the serial port name wrong.

dmxProBaudRate - : serial port speed

setupLanbox

public void setupLanbox(java.lang.String lanboxIP)

Set up the DMX output for use with Lanbox device.

Parameters:

lanboxIP - : IP of the lanbox device. i could not find how to change the lanbox ip, the on i received was set on 192.168.1.77.

setupLanbox

public void setupLanbox(java.lang.String lanboxIP,
               int lanboxPort)

Set up the DMX output for use with Lanbox device.

Parameters:

lanboxIP - : IP of the lanbox device. i could not find how to change the lanbox ip, the on i received was set on 192.168.1.77.

lanboxPort - : udp port number, in case it is not matching the default port number.

reset

public void reset()

reset all channels to zero

set

public boolean set(int channel,
          int value)

Write value to the channel, if the value is different from the last written.

Parameters:

channel -

value -

set

public boolean set(int channel,
          int[] values)

Write values to channels, starting the with the channel specified and incrementing it for each value of values. If the value is different from the last written.

Parameters:

channel - : first channel

values -

run

public void run()

background thread taking care of sending the DMX frames.

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable

Overrides:

run in class java.lang.Thread
