LED Fixtures, lighting software, dmx controller, time coding to music

[Precioso]

Hello Fello Burner,

I have an art installation, The G String, that uses 7 dmx RGB LED light fixtures and an old Obey 40. I am looking to upgrade my lighting package and I need to control brightness, strobe, color static, color fade of my 7 fixtures. I want to program the dmx controller to coincide/synchronize with music....as easily as fees-ably possible. Or spend an extra hundred to make it easier. my time is more valuable than my money right now. Anyone with advice and experience on what hardware/software they recommend is appreciated. I have adj mydmx3.0 but as far as i can tell, it is not conducive to time syncing.

Hi

I've decided to start Arduino projects so far. I have dependably been more into programming based stuff, for example, scripting. But anyway, fundamental inquiry...

The entire reason I am getting into gadgets, and all the more particularly the Arduino, is a direct result of lights. Heaps of lights. Like having LED line the highest point of my dividers parts. What I am endeavoring to do at present is to attempt and get four segments of LEDs arranged at the highest point of my dividers to adjust to music and on Arduino forum making a light show that syncs to the music live to write my essay fast task. That is only a beginning stage for the time being. These are the parts that I comprehend I need to set it up until this point.

Hello Burner, you can programm it to time syncing. I guess the pdf manual will help you.

All you need is to read (there are sites explaining DMX) There are sites explaining python or whatever language your hardware can handle.

You can ask, but do not expect someone else to solve your problem for you.

Last year I had to learn how to paint by number with ILDA

With the more DIY side of things, WLED on an ESP8266/ESP32 is quite powerful, and talks/receives DMX and E1.31(DMX)/Art-Net protocols.

Also LedFx apparently, and there's a fork with FFT/music reactive built in for ESP32. I'm going to be giving that a try for my own small scale stuff. Primarily my Playa Coat (just starting to work with a designer/sewer) and probably also my bike.
