I’m working with a laser console and I am trying to set up my LED lights. I’m using the ESP32 controller with 3 LED strips. I was wondering if there was any way to sync the LED lights with my FB4 DMX laser console using the DMX input/output.
The software we’re using for the laser console is the BEYOND Essentials license under the Pangolin Laser Systems.
You can connect them via DMX cables, E1.31, Art-Net, UDP, and possibly DDP through PangoScript or other TCP configuration. There are lots of options. For me, personally, if it is a low priority set-up (as in, not being configured for live performance), I would just use UDP with simple commands. It has worked well enough for me keeping controllers in sync, but it does require a stable network.
Otherwise, if this is a production based need, I would go a more secure route. Can’t get more secure than with physical cables. All you need is a couple RS485 modules/pcbs and some decent wire.
You may find interest in the MoonModules/MoonLight project. It’s based moon WLED but may be more catered to this particular set-up. Worth looking in to: mm.kno.wled.ge and more info here.
