Note that you can click the images to make them bigger. On my MacBook Pro mid-2013 I can play a 10.000x5.000 pixels HAP file at 30 FPS (I still havent tested the limit, I just realized I could play that file weve been using for a 28 miniMAD synchronization test. You'll need the latest beta serie from VDMX, beta 0.8.x.x or superior. On macOS, MadMapper 2.0 & later support hardware decoding of HAP codec.

Laptop Xlights/Jinx > NodeMCU(Wled/ESPpixelstick) > WSXXX based strip, er, that it. Here's a quick and dirty tutorial explaining how to connect MadMapper and VDMX. WLED and ESPixelstick are popular firmware, level shifter if strip more than few inches from board, links in Tacklind list. can be used to check the output from the ESPixelStick connected over USB.

I definitely have a good connection to the light because Im already controlling it from my mac via the lights webpage interface. Mac only: Serial driver for CH340, to connect to D1 Mini hardware to flash code. WiFi based pixel driver projects are very common and cheap, because of the ESP8266 based boards, like the WeMOS /NodeMCU about a fiver on Amazon, programs from Arduino IDE. Ive done a lot of research but I really cant figure out what I need to do to set this up as a fixture and get MadMapper to communicate with the light. Jinx was designed for live use but only understands matrixes and is getting old or Xlights comes from Christmas lights community, not so great on live, but ability to build odd shaped models is handy, both are free.

Haven`t experimented but should be able to get 64 unis of Artnet out of MagicQ for free with pixel mapping ability.
SACN/Artnet dosen`t even need dongle :-) just whatever old laptop can get to run the software,it`s just a second go button to hit.
This video covers using the java tool (TLDR) as well as flashing from the Arduino IDE. There are two ways to flash or program a Pixelstick. YOU MUST FLASH THEM YOURSELF TO USE THEM. Rather than flipping the flipping SD card in and out.ĭesk triggering server that`s running something like Madmapper or Resolume when budget isn`t an issue.ĭMX control of pixels gets old fast, its like trying to run a moving lite of a 2 preset fader desk -) Pixelsticks are small, WiFi RGB Pixel controllers. T/K1000 units are OK for what they do, standalone replay units that you need to program with LEDedit, its own PC software, there a few versions around but the DMX port at best is an on/off switch, no selecting patterns, dinnae bother.ĭMX selection of canned effects is rare because it`s not massively useful, still have to set the effects up, may as well keep the server live and call and adjust to suit.
