I have an up coming project that’s going to require me to control quite a few LED lighting strips via ART NET. Artnet is an advanced form of DMX controller, controlled via a network and gives far more control of LED strips. It can handle controlling 1000’s of individual pixels over a single network interface.
Having never really used this format I purchased a simple Art Net to pixel controller to experiment with. After some time exploring the very simple manual that came with it. I found using the Q lite software as an interface was the best way to communicate with it for simple test.
Along with this I found it was possible to hook up a wireless X box controller as an interface to the Q lite software. This will enable me to demonstrate different patterns and effects to the designers to show the capabilities of Art Net and allow them to make decisions on the final look with ease.
