Now help me make it work on the Arduino Mega 1280 !!!!!!!!!! /commandment :slight_smile:

Does someone still have that zip?

Anyone still got the source to this project?

The holidays have just begun.
I just packed my Arduino Duemilanove out and got Max Pierson's DMX receiver rev. 15 from http://blog.wingedvictorydesign.com running with an LCD and a rotary encoder.
The LCD as a HD44780 compatible LCD Display and the rotary encoder is an ALPS 12-Step pulse encoder.

I'm waiting for an Arduino Mega 2560 I just ordered a few days ago.
Can't wait to port it.

If anyone wants a demo video just ask.

Siliconsoul.

I do, I do, Pick me, pick mee... imagine Jack Russel terrier bouncing :-p

Seriously though, one of the reasons I got into Arduino's is because I want to do some cool projects with DMX-512.

Here's the video on YouTube.

Messed the video up somehow. Here's the new upload.

Where can I find the QuadEncoder.cpp and QuadEncoder.h files?

Use the native libraries which come with arduino 0022.

Arduino 0022 was released on Christmas but the core files have been modified to use register-based and not CPU-based #if defines.
I was curious if it were possible to implement an #ifdef (ARDUINO_DMX) into the HardwareSerial code so that we just have to include #define ARDUINO_DMX into the source code. Any suggestions?

Use the native libraries which come with arduino 0022.

What do you mean by native libraries? I've installed Arduino 0022 and I don't see anything looking like QuadEncoder :frowning:

Use the standard encoder libraries included with arduino 0022. which source are you using (where did it come from)? Grabbed the DMX application from WingedVictoryDesign and started from scratch as I found Dolby's mod to be pretty unconventional.
This also depends on what kind of LCD and rotary encoder you have. If it's not that what Dolby is using then you'll end up modifying most of it anyway.

Hi

I know this is an old thread - but does someone have the source for this setup with DMX reception, the rotary switch and LCD display via SPI/I2C ?

Thanks
