Hi Bob, Have been reading several posts around DMX on Arduino.
I can confirm an answer to a question you asked sometime ago... DUE doesnt work with TinkerKit DMX Shield...
I have a project that I can get two halves to work, but need to interface them together.
Environment: Start lights and track signals for a Slot Car setup (havenwoodraceway.co.uk)
Objective: To control 2 x Banks of 5 x PAR CANs to simulate the start sequence of races
(Imagine PAR CANS doing the job of the LED's in this video
RCS64 v3 - START LIGHTS with ARDUINO UNO - YouTube)
Current Situation:
I have a PC running an application RCS 64 (rcs64.com) which controls a UNO for the lighting of individual LEDs'. The developers of this application are not prepared to open their source as they want to control the installation of their application from a single exe (understandable as they have a lot of development stuff going on that they are trying to support).
Approach:
My current thought was to implement an UNO driven by RCS64 and for it to connect to a DUE with Tinkerkit DMX Shield on, which would sniff the PWM output and then translate to DMX signals to the PAR CANS.
Status:
Cant get DUE to work with DMX Shield. So thinking of getting another UNO to do the DMX job.
But having seen your work I wonder if you have some other suggestions on how to achieve the objective? Grateful for any thoughts...
Best regards
Paul
