Hi
I am unfortunately short on time and could use some assistance.
Idea: Use the Mega as a sACN / E1.31 master (send sequencing information) AND send RS485 to additional slaves.
Working communications: Ethernet (E1.31 protocol), RS485 (DMX protocol) & RS485 @ 57.6kbps
Hardware:
San Devices E682 & E6804 for pixel control and DMX bridge for ONE dumb RGB controller and ONE Light-O-Rama 16ch 120v controller.
There are several MEGAs driving SSRs and PWM to mosfets over RS485 - all communications are established and working. The MEGAs are 'smart' LED/SSR controllers as they only require a few pieces of information to execute their routines.
GOAL: to get a MEGA to send sequencing via Ethernet (E1.31 protocol) and RS485. DMX is handled by the San Devices BRIDGE. sACN is the problem.
I HAVE a few Wiznet W5100 Ethernet shields available with a SD Card slot (could use that later for larger sequence files)
PROBLEM -------------
I cannot seem to locate a sACN/E1.31 library for SENDING - plenty of receiving - don't have the time to reverse engineer it all due to a error in judgement choosing LOR S4 software.
I am probably missing something obvious - simply under allot of stress to get this done.
I have plenty of adaptable routines & effects - just no stable way to send sACN to the San Devices controllers.
Anyone familiar with a good library that might help here?
THANKS!
