Open Lighting Architecture

The Open Lighting Architecture (OLA) provides a plugin framework for distributing DMX512 control signals on Mac and Linux. It provides C++ and Python libraries which abstract away the underlying DMX over IP protocol or DMX interface. See http://opendmx.net/index.php/OLA for more information. ...

Elios

Entertainment LIghting Open source Software a.k.a ELIOS is a Java application that provides remote management capabilities to your lighting system based on Art-Net.

Q Lightning Controller

Q Light Controller (QLC) is a cross-platform application to control DMX or analog lighting systems like moving heads, dimmers, scanners and other effects. Our goal is to replace expensive and somewhat limited hardware lighting desks with free software.

DMXSerial

A library for sending and receiving DMX codes using the Arduino plattform or the ATmega328 (or similar) processor. The library avoids timming issues on the low level protocol that typically exist when using software implementations by using the internal serial communication hardware of the chips. ... [More] Therefore it is very uncritical to add you specific DMX effects on top of this communication library. DMX sending and DMX receiving are both supported by this library. [Less]

DMXEffects

Java based application in order to allow effect playback when triggered using an external DMX input.

Ubiquisense

Model Driven Framework Ubiquitous computing framework Usual devices such as nunchuck, wiimote, arduino, blinkm should be easily integrated with java desktop applications. As well, motion/fiducial tracking such as reactivision, CCV, Movid are as well a very good feed for ubiquitous interactions. ... [More] Coupled to a declarative DSL based network/comm configuration and asynchronous/conccurent qeues it becomes possible to connect all of these devices in coordoniation and use them with model based application. More complicated apps could then leverage these device inputs and transparantly interact with each others. [Less]

cppglue

WhatcppGlue is a pre-alpha C++ library for openFrameworks. The library enables easy communication with Arduino boards and DMX USB PRO devices. It also includes Tweener / Caller functionality for animations and some useful math tools. DetailscppGlue requires the POCO C++, PennerEasing and Serial ... [More] libraries which all are included with the distribution. cppGlue is in theory cross platform but has only been compiled and tested in Xcode on Intel Macs. The Arduino class can be used to monitor sensors (such as buttons, rotary encoders and motion detectors) and control actuators (such as servos and LEDs) and other electronics (such as RFID readers) from C++ applications without any Arduino programming (using the StandardFirmata library). The DmxPro class can together with a DMX USB PRO dev [Less]

PixelController

PixelController - a matrix control project by Michael Vogt , (c) 2010-2011 I want to create an easy to use matrix controller software which creates stunning visuals! Primary Website: http://www.pixelinvaders.ch My Blog: http://www.neophob.com

pydmx

Python library for controlling intelligent stage lighting fixtures using the DMX-512 protocol. This project aims to include: Hardware controller interfaces Lighting fixture definitions Stage setup configuration Scene management An intuitive user interface Right now, I'm just in the ... [More] planning stage, but would like to have some kind of 0.1 release soon. By soon, I mean, whenever I find the time to keep messing with this stuff. Right now, it's been pushed a little too far to the side... [Less]

tinkerit

Public software releasesTrueRandomA true random number generator library for Arduino. CantarinoA work-in-progress speech synthesiser, presented at Music Hack Day 2009. 'Daisy Bell' demo now available. Code snippetsThe SecretVoltmeter and SecretThermometer hiding on some Arduinos ... [More] DmxSimpleA new way to control DMX on the Arduino. Add the Tinker.it! DMX shield, and drive lights, lasers and visual effects from Arduino. Update: New version 3 July 2009 AuduinoA granular synthesis engine using the Arduino platform. Real time DSP techniques are used to generate music that sounds like this. As launched at the BFI as part of Music & Electronics demo presented by Tinker.it! on 15 November 2008. Make your own today! Update: Auduino v5 now also supports all 16MHz Arduinos Liquidware Touchshield demoThis demo runs in the Touchshield from Liquidware. See video footage. It runs on a standard Touchshield with no modifications. Compile using the Arduino platform. Firmata for the Ethernet ShieldIt's more an hack than a real release but we ported Standard Firmata to the Ethernet Shield so that it can communicate with Flash using AS3Glue without a serial proxy [Less]
