Linux ArtNet Node
2007-11-20T16:05:02Z
<p>69.181.26.114: </p>
<hr />
<div>Written by Thomas Hinterberger and Simon Newton.<br />
<br />
This HOWTO outlines a method for creating an ArtNetNode on an Intel/AMD32 Computer (minmum proved: PI/200 32 MB Ram/400MB Harddisk ) using an [[Enttec]] [[Open DMX USB]] Interface (not the Pro). For instructions on how to install on to a USB stick see http://d-i.pascal.at/<br />
<br />
This howto uses the Debian Sarge Netinstall-CD-Image (100 Mb) - http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/debian-installer/<br />
<br />
The computer must be connected to the Internet to download the packages. Its easiest if you have a DHCP server on your network (most routers come with this feature).<br />
<br />
Prerequisites: None. It helps if you know Linux a bit and have installed Debian before, but there is plenty of other documentation for that.<br />
<br />
== Initial Debian Install ==<br />
<br />
For installation follow: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge (enter linux26 at the boot prompt to install a 2.6 kernel)<br />
<br />
Enter sometime useful for the hostname like "node1", you can leave the domain name blank.<br />
<br />
Set up a user other than root on the machine. <br />
<br />
On page 2 of the above guide, for the screen "Debian Software Configuration" , don't check any boxes. We'll install the other packages later.<br />
<br />
On the Configuration Exim v4 you choose "No configuration at this time".<br />
<br />
After the install completes it will present you with a login prompt. It's now time to install the ArtNet software and DMX driver.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation of Lighting Software ==<br />
<br />
Log in with the user name and password you set up previously.<br />
<br />
now you type to the console with the following convention:<br />
<br />
# command Type command as root- to get root type 'su' followed by the root password<br />
$ command Type command as user - to get user type exit<br />
<br />
Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file, you'll need to be root to do this:<br />
<br />
$ su<br />
# nano /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
<br />
Add add the following line:<br />
<br />
deb http://www.nomis52.net/data/debian ./<br />
<br />
If you used nano to edit, you can save the file with ctrl o + enter . Then exit nano with ctrl x.<br />
<br />
Update the package lists and install the required software:<br />
<br />
# apt-get update<br />
# apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) g++ make libartnet1 artnet-examples<br />
<br />
Make a note of the version of your kernel-headers that are going to be installed.<br />
<br />
Exit the root account, and download and compile the dmx_usb driver:<br />
<br />
# exit<br />
$ wget http://www.erwinrol.com/downloads/software/dmx_usb_module-20040914.tar.gz<br />
$ tar -zxf dmx_usb_module-20040914.tar.gz<br />
$ cd dmx_usb_module<br />
$ make<br />
$ cd ..<br />
<br />
Now we need to install the kernel module. Adjust these lines for your system using the version of kernel headers that were installed.<br />
<br />
$ su<br />
# cp dmx_usb_module/dmx_usb.ko /lib/modules/2.6.X-Y-386/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/dmx_usb.ko<br />
# rm /lib/modules/2.6.X-Y-386/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko<br />
# cd /dev<br />
# mknod -m 666 dmx0 c 180 192<br />
<br />
Add the following line to /etc/modules so that the dmx_usb module is loaded on startup:<br />
<br />
dmx_usb.ko<br />
<br />
Again, you can do this using nano<br />
<br />
# nano /etc/modules<br />
<br />
Finally reboot the machine<br />
<br />
# reboot<br />
<br />
<br />
== Starting the Node ==<br />
<br />
Login to the machine with your username and password<br />
<br />
Check that the dmx_usb module is loaded:<br />
<br />
$ lsmod | grep dmx_usb<br />
dmx_usb 11012 0<br />
usbcore 114176 8 dmx_usb,ftdi_sio,usbserial,usb_storage,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd<br />
<br />
You should see two lines like above. This shows that the driver has been loaded correctly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plug in the Enttec [[Open DMX USB]] Interface. Run dmesg and check that the device was initialized corrected:<br />
<br />
$ dmesg<br />
... heaps of output ...<br />
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5<br />
usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice<br />
/home/simon/dmx_usb_module/dmx_usb.c: DMX USB device now attached to dmx192<br />
<br />
Right at the end you should see something like the 3 lines above. This means that the widget has been recognised by the dmx_usb driver.<br />
<br />
Start the artnet node by running:<br />
<br />
$ artnet_usb<br />
<br />
By default the node starts up using ArtNet subnet 0 and port 0, this corresponds to Universe 0 in [[Magic Q PC]]<br />
<br />
Running artnet_usb with the -v option gives you debug information. The following arguments are supported:<br />
<br />
-a <ip-address> IP address to listen on (defaults to the address<br />
of the first non loopback interface)<br />
-c <config_file> Config file to use for node name and port settings<br />
-d <dmx-device> device for dmx output (default /dev/dmx0)<br />
-p <port-address> port address for output universe (default 0)<br />
-s <subnet-address> subnet address for output universe (default 0)<br />
-v be verbose (prints data for first four channels)<br />
-z Run in a new process (handles widget disconnects cleanly)<br />
<br />
The universe address of the port is made up from the ArtNet subnet address and the ArtNet port address. The four least significant bits are the port address, the four most significant are the subnet address.<br />
<br />
For example :<br />
<br />
$ artnet-usb -p 3 -s 2<br />
<br />
sets the universe address to 0x23<br />
<br />
<br />
== Testing with [[DMX Workshop]] ==<br />
<br />
Start DMX Workshop and verify that the node appears in the connected devices list.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Using the node with [[Magic Q PC]] ==<br />
<br />
If you enable now Artnet Universe 0 in Magic Q from ChamSys, you have a fully functioning one universe DMX512 interface. This works much better than MagicQ alone with the Open DMX USB Windows drivers. You can also use as many universes as ArtNet supports (but at the moment only one Open DMX USB device per node is supported)<br />
<br />

<div>== Plugin Config Files ==<br />
<br />
Each plugin can create a config file (usually stored in ~/.lla ) to store settings. Config files are in the form:<br />
# lines starting with a # are comments<br />
key = value<br />
<br />
You can find the available options by querying the plugin using lla_plugin_info:<br />
<br />
$ lla_plugin_info <br />
ID Device Name<br />
--------------------------------------<br />
0 ArtNet Plugin<br />
1 Dummy Plugin<br />
2 EspNet Plugin<br />
3 OpenDmx Plugin<br />
4 Pathport Plugin<br />
5 ShowNet Plugin<br />
6 SandNet Plugin<br />
7 UsbPro Plugin<br />
8 StageProfi Plugin<br />
9 Dmx4Linux Plugin<br />
--------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<br />
$ lla_plugin_info -p 8<br />
Stage Profi Plugin<br />
----------------------------<br />
<br />
This plugin creates devices with one output port.<br />
<br />
--- Config file : lla-stageprofi.conf ---<br />
<br />
device = /dev/ttyUSB0<br />
device = 192.168.1.250<br />
The device to use either as a path for the USB version or an IP address<br />
for the LAN version. Multiple devices are supported.<br />
<br />
In addition to the parameters defined by the plugin, there are two parameters available for all plugins, ''enabled'' and ''debug'':<br />
<br />
# don't load this plugin<br />
enabled = false<br />
<br />
# turn on debug<br />
debug = true</div>

LLA allows DMX sent using various DMX over IP protocols to be converted from one format to another. This enables devices from different manufacturers to talk to each another (for example a [[Strand_Lighting|Strand]] Console can send DMX to an [[Enttec]] [[DmxEtherGate MKII|EtherGate]]).<br />
<br />
LLA Live is a stand-alone bootable cd containing software from the Linux Lighting Architecture project.<br />
<br />
When combined with a physical DMX interface such as the [[DMX USB Pro]], LLA Live can send and receive data from traditional wired DMX networks.<br />

Using OLA

<hr />
<div>=== Using LLA ===<br />
<br />
[[LLA]] is a framework that allows applications to send and receive DMX using various hardware devices and DMX over IP protocols. Hardware devices and protocols can also be connected together and LLA will route the DMX between the two.<br />
<br />
LLA consists of 4 parts:<br />
- the lla daemon (llad)<br />
- the lla client library (liblla)<br />
- various lla plugins (libllaX)<br />
- example programs (lla_dev_info, lla_patch etc.)<br />
<br />
== LLA Terminology ==<br />
<br />
; Port (noun)<br />
: A port represents up to 512 DMX channels that sends data (OUT port) or receives data (IN port). It can be either a physical port on a device or a virtual port created by a DMX over IP protocol.<br />
<br />
; Device (noun)<br />
: A device is a group of ports, for example some devices might have an input and output port.<br />
<br />
; Plugin (noun)<br />
:A LLA plugin supports a group of physical devices or a DMX over IP protocol. Example plugins include ArtNet, ShowNet, EspNet, DmxUsbPro, OpenDmx, StageProfi, Dmx4Linux etc. On startup plugins look for the devices they are responsible for and set them up.<br />
<br />
; Universe (noun)<br />
: A universe is a set of 512 DMX channels. Ports can be patched to universes in which case they'll either send the data for the universe (in the case of output ports) or set the values for the universe (for input ports)<br />
<br />
; Client (noun)<br />
: A client is another application that connects to LLA using liblla.<br />
<br />
; Patch (verb)<br />
: The act of assigning a port to a universe.<br />
<br />
== Using LLA ==<br />
<br />
In the general case you want to:<br />
- start the lla daemon<br />
- patch some output ports to universes<br />
- patch an input port or run a client application<br />
<br />
=== How to start llad ===<br />
<br />
For testing run llad in non-forking, log to stdout, debug level 3:<br />
<br />
llad -d 3 -f -s<br />
<br />
'''Do not run this as root'''. If LLA doesn't work as your user it's due to incorrect permissions on files within /dev - fix them and try again. I repeat do not run this as root.<br />
<br />
=== How to setup an interface ===<br />
<br />
Before an interface (e.g. a USB dongle) can be used, a ''port'' on the ''device'' must be ''patched'' to a ''universe''.<br />
<br />
First run lla_dev_info and find out what device / port the desired interface has:<br />
<br />
$ lla_dev_info<br />
Device 0: Art-Net Device<br />
port 0, cap IN<br />
port 1, cap IN<br />
port 2, cap IN<br />
port 3, cap IN<br />
port 4, cap OUT<br />
port 5, cap OUT<br />
port 6, cap OUT<br />
port 7, cap OUT<br />
Device 1: Stage Profi Device<br />
port 0, cap OUT<br />
<br />
In this case we want to use the StageProfi device so we patch device 1, port 0 to a new universe (1)<br />
<br />
Then the command '''lla_patch''' can be given the numbers just found and the desired universe, so they get connected.<br />
<br />
lla_patch -d 1 -p 0 -u 1<br />
<br />
Running lla_dev_info again shows us the patch has been made:<br />
<br />
$ lla_dev_info<br />
Device 0: Art-Net Device<br />
port 0, cap IN<br />
port 1, cap IN<br />
port 2, cap IN<br />
port 3, cap IN<br />
port 4, cap OUT<br />
port 5, cap OUT<br />
port 6, cap OUT<br />
port 7, cap OUT<br />
Device 1: Stage Profi Device<br />
port 0, cap OUT, universe 1<br />
<br />
Finally the setup can be tested with '''lla_dmxconsole''' or '''lla_dmxmonitor''' to set or receive DMX values.<br />
<br />
Command line options can be seen [http://nomis52.net/?section=projects&sect2=lla&page=llatools here].<br />

LLA, OpenDMX USB and Q Light Controller Tutorial
2007-10-07T01:24:22Z
<p>69.181.26.114: /* Test the installation */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Category:Tutorials]]<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
To show the special steps to get the Enttec Open DMX USB interface working with LLA via Erwin Rol's driver, then get QLC to work with LLA. This allows QLC to be used with the Enttec OpenDMX USB interfaces on a 2.6 kernel, for which dmx4linux is not yet fully working.<br />
<br />
This may also be useful for people with a different interface supported by LLA who need some pointers on how to get LLA working with QLC, in which case you only need follow from "Download and install LLA" onwards.<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
<br />
I got very excited when I first saw QLC (http://qlc.sourceforge.net/). Then I got slightly annoyed, then very frustrated trying to get it to work. I ended up using Slackware so that I could have a relatively modern distro with Linux 2.4 in order to use dmx4linux. But it's a hassle to reboot every time I want to play with DMX. The other alternative is to use LLA, but this requires a separate computer for the Live CD.<br />
<br />
LLA is available as packages for a standard distro, but needs an extra driver to work with Enttec OpenDMX USB, which is included on the Live CD but not in the standard packages.<br />
<br />
This tutorial assumes you're using Ubuntu 7.04 (Fiesty Fawn), but should be usable for any apt-based distro. Could probably be adapted for rpm-based too.<br />
<br />
This tutorial is deliberately quite verbose: although it could have been presented as one long cut'n'paste or a shell script, a walkthrough is more helpful for actually learning what's going on and will get out of date more slowly.<br />
<br />
It would be really useful if users of other distros could modify this tutorial to make it more universal, or create other pages for distro-specific information.<br />
<br />
==Operating System==<br />
<br />
Pretty obvious, but... get the latest Ubuntu installed on your machine. http://www.ubuntu.com<br />
<br />
==Prerequisite packages==<br />
===GIT and Cogito===<br />
These are used to download source code.<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo apt-get install git-core cogito curl<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
===Kernel source===<br />
We need this in order to be able to compile the modules<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo apt-get install linux-source<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
===Alien===<br />
We will need to install some RPM files at some point (bah!)<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo apt-get install alien<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
===Build essentials===<br />
We're going to be building source, so we need the standard libraries:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
apt-get install build-essential<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
(if you're following this on a non-debian-style distibution, you need the libc, libstcd++ development files, C compiler etc.)<br />
<br />
<br />
==Build and install the usb kernel module==<br />
<br />
Erwil Rol's driver allows the Enttec OpenDMX USB driver to work with LLA.<br />
<br />
It's best to make sure that you're running the kernel that you're intending to use - if you've upgraded from previous versions of Ubuntu you may have several versions hanging around. Removing old ones using Synaptic is probably a good idea.<br />
<br />
===Compile and install driver===<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
cd ~<br />
mkdir dmx-software<br />
cd dmx-software<br />
git-clone http://www.erwinrol.com/git/dmx_usb_module/<br />
cd dmx_usb_module<br />
make<br />
sudo cp ./dmx_usb.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/serial<br />
sudo depmod<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
===Blacklist the other serial drivers===<br />
Because this dongle uses a usb to serial converter chip, it's recognised by the hotplug/udev/hal system and drivers are loaded - unfortunately not ones that work with QLC. The workaround is to blacklist the alternative drivers. If you have other usb to serial converters then they will stop working - if you need these then you will have to delve into the source and change the USB device IDs that the drivers detect... here we will go for the quick and dirty solution.<br />
<br />
With your favourite text editor, as root/sudo, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist e.g.:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
add the following lines:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
blacklist usbserial<br />
blacklist usb-serial<br />
blacklist ftdi_sio<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
===Remove the brltty package===<br />
According to Synaptic, "BRLTTY is a daemon which provides access to the Linux console (text mode) for a blind person using a soft braille display". Unfortunately it has a habit of interfering with anything that looks like it might be a serial console, USB to serial devices included. There's probably a more elegant workaround, but we'll go for the quick and dirty again, and remove it:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo apt-get remove brltty<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
===Test the driver===<br />
Plug in your dongle!! Hopefully all will go well, and if you type:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
dmesg<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
you should see:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
DMX USB device now attached to dmx192<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If you've got other modules loading, ftdi serial drivers, etc. then something's wrong.<br />
<br />
==Download and install LLA==<br />
LLA is Linux Lighting Architecture, a general framework for lighting applications in Linux. It's available as a live CD, but we're just using the package as a way to interface QLC with the USB driver. More info about LLA on it's webpage.<br />
<br />
===Install the packages===<br />
There are debian packages available at the time of writing. Add the packages to your sources file:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
add the following line at the end:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
deb http://www.nomis52.net/data/debian ./<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
Install the packages:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
sudo apt-get install liblla0 llad llad-console lla-examples<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
===Test the installation===<br />
With your dongle connected as in section 3, you're now ready to test. Connect a DMX device up to your dongle, make sure you know the channel number it's on, make sure it's working correctly, make sure you got the polarity in your DMX lead right, etc. etc. Being sure that the dongle/hardware/software combination is the only weak link will save a lot of hair-pulling...<br />
<br />
Fix the permissions on /dev/dmx:<br />
<br />
chmod a+rw /dev/dmx<br />
<br />
First, start the daemon with debug mode on:<br />
<br />
llad -d 3 -f -s<br />
<br />
Next, in another terminal find out what number the OpenDMX device is:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
lla_dev_info<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
you should get something like:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Device 2: Open DMX USB Device<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If you can't see 'Open DMX USB Device' in there somewhere, then you haven't got the kernel driver installed properly. Go straight to jail, do not pass go.<br />
<br />
Assuming everything is OK, you need to patch this device so we can use it:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
lla_patch -d2 -p0 -u0<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
(replace -d2 with whichever device number is your Open DMX USB)<br />
<br />
now do:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
lla_dev_info<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
and it should say<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
Device 2: Open DMX USB Device<br />
port 0, cap OUT, universe 1<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
Finally:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
lla_dmxconsole<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
and play with the console!<br />
<br />
Don't forget to remove your test patch afterwards:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
lla_patch -r -d2 -p0 -u0<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
==Download and install the latest build of QLC==<br />
Finally! There are Ubuntu/Debian packages, but at the time of writing they're not the most up-to-date and don't include the LLA plugin. You could compile from source, but the most recent RPM packages work fine and save time and hassle.<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
cd ~/dmx-software<br />
wget http://rpms.netmindz.net/FC6/i386/RPMS.netmindz/qlc-2.6.1-2.fc6.i386.rpm<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
'''Update:''' the above source is currently not working. You will need to find a version of QLC with the LLA patches, try emailing the author of this tutorial (lee@lpcollier.net) or contacting the QLC development mailing list https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qlc-devel<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo alien qlc-2.6.1-2.fc6.i386.rpm<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
wait a long time... (don't worry about the warnings)... then:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo dpkg -i qlc-2.6.1-2.fc6.i386.rpm<br />
sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
Now try it:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
sudo qlc &<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
QLC should run OK. Don't get too excited yet, there's one more step...<br />
<br />
==Put it all together==<br />
We now need a script that will start the lla daemon, patch the adaptor to the DMX universe (QLC uses 1 by default, LLA uses 0) and start QLC. This should do it:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
#!/bin/bash<br />
gksudo killall llad<br />
sleep 2s<br />
sudo llad<br />
sleep 5s<br />
sudo lla_patch -d2 -p0 -u1<br />
sleep 2s<br />
sudo qlc &<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
save it as something memorable (I use qlc-start) and make sure it's executable:<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
chmod u+x qlc-start<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
and you're away!<br />
<br />
TODO: it should be possible to run LLA/QLC as a non-privileged user provided that permissions are set appropriately.</div>

<hr />
<div>=== Using LLA ===<br />
<br />
[[LLA]] is a utility that allows applications to send and receive DMX using various hardware devices and DMX over IP protocols. Hardware devices and protocols can also be connected together and LLA will route the DMX between the two.<br />
<br />
LLA consists of 4 parts:<br />
- the lla daemon (llad)<br />
- the lla client library (liblla)<br />
- various lla plugins (libllaX)<br />
- example programs (lla_dev_info, lla_patch etc.)<br />
<br />
== LLA Terminology ==<br />
<br />
; Port (noun)<br />
: A port represents up to 512 DMX channels that sends data (OUT port) or receives data (IN port). It can be either a physical port on a device or a virtual port created by a DMX over IP protocol.<br />
<br />
; Device (noun)<br />
: A device is a group of ports, for example some devices might have an input and output port.<br />
<br />
; Plugin (noun)<br />
:A LLA plugin supports a group of physical devices or a DMX over IP protocol. Example plugins include ArtNet, ShowNet, EspNet, DmxUsbPro, OpenDmx, StageProfi, Dmx4Linux etc. On startup plugins look for the devices they are responsible for and set them up.<br />
<br />
; Universe (noun)<br />
: A universe is a set of 512 DMX channels. Ports can be patched to universes in which case they'll either send the data for the universe (in the case of output ports) or set the values for the universe (for input ports)<br />
<br />
; Client (noun)<br />
: A client is another application that connects to LLA using liblla.<br />
<br />
; Patch (verb)<br />
: The act of assigning a port to a universe.<br />
<br />
== Using LLA ==<br />
<br />
In the general case you want to:<br />
- start the lla daemon<br />
- patch some output ports to universes<br />
- patch an input port or run a client application<br />
<br />
=== How to start llad ===<br />
<br />
For testing run llad in non-forking, log to stdout, debug level 3:<br />
<br />
llad -d 3 -f -s<br />
<br />
'''Do not run this as root'''. If LLA doesn't work as your user it's due to incorrect permissions on files within /dev - fix them and try again. I repeat do not run this as root.<br />
<br />
=== How to setup an interface ===<br />
<br />
Before an interface (e.g. a USB dongle) can be used, a ''port'' on the ''device'' must be ''patched'' to a ''universe''.<br />
<br />
First run lla_dev_info and find out what device / port the desired interface has:<br />
<br />
$ lla_dev_info<br />
Device 0: Art-Net Device<br />
port 0, cap IN<br />
port 1, cap IN<br />
port 2, cap IN<br />
port 3, cap IN<br />
port 4, cap OUT<br />
port 5, cap OUT<br />
port 6, cap OUT<br />
port 7, cap OUT<br />
Device 1: Stage Profi Device<br />
port 0, cap OUT<br />
<br />
In this case we want to use the StageProfi device so we patch device 1, port 0 to a new universe (1)<br />
<br />
Then the command '''lla_patch''' can be given the numbers just found and the desired universe, so they get connected.<br />
<br />
lla_patch -d 1 -p 0 -u 1<br />
<br />
Running lla_dev_info again shows us the patch has been made:<br />
<br />
$ lla_dev_info<br />
Device 0: Art-Net Device<br />
port 0, cap IN<br />
port 1, cap IN<br />
port 2, cap IN<br />
port 3, cap IN<br />
port 4, cap OUT<br />
port 5, cap OUT<br />
port 6, cap OUT<br />
port 7, cap OUT<br />
Device 1: Stage Profi Device<br />
port 0, cap OUT, universe 1<br />
<br />
Finally the setup can be tested with '''lla_dmxconsole''' or '''lla_dmxmonitor''' to set or receive DMX values.<br />
<br />
Command line options can be seen [http://nomis52.net/?section=projects&sect2=lla&page=llatools here].<br />

<hr />
<div>Sometimes you'll need to build [[LLA]] from the sources rather than using the pre-built .deb. For example on non-debian systems or if you want to use the LLA-Dmx4Linux plugin.<br />
<br />
== Installed Dependencies ==<br />
<br />
If you're building from the git version you'll need the perl Template module installed. Run the following:<br />
<br />
perl -e "use Template"<br />
<br />
If you get an error you'll need to download and install Template.pm (or apt-get install libtemplate-perl)<br />
<br />
== Download & Extract ==<br />
<br />
Either download the latest archive or grab the sources via git:<br />
<br />
wget http://www.nomis52.net/data/sources/lla/lla-latest.tar.gz<br />
tar -zxf lla-latest.tar.gz<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
git clone http://www.nomis52.net/git/lla<br />
<br />
== Build ==<br />
<br />
If you downloaded an archive you can skip the reconf step, otherwise run reconf which will also auto-generate parts of the code:<br />
<br />
./reconf<br />
Generating source files...<br />
Done lla-UsbPro<br />

Running autotools<br />
+ aclocal -I config<br />
+ autoconf<br />
+ autoheader<br />
+ automake -a<br />
+ exit<br />
<br />
Then run ./configure and check which plugins will be built:<br />
<br />
./configure<br />
...<br />
checking for artnet_new in -lartnet... yes<br />
checking for DMXdev in -ldmx4linux... no<br />
checking for espnet_new in -lespnet... yes<br />
checking for shownet_new in -lshownet... no<br />
checking for sandnet_new in -lsandnet... yes<br />
checking for pathport_new in -lpathport... yes<br />
<br />
In this case we're not going to build the shownet and dmx4linux plugins as we don't have the necessary libraries installed.<br />
<br />
Finally run make:<br />
<br />
make<br />
<br />
== Install ==<br />
<br />

LLA Live is a stand-alone bootable cd containing software from the Linux Lighting Architecture project.<br />
<br />
LLA allows DMX sent using various DMX over IP protocols to be converted from one format to another. This enables devices from different manufacturers to talk to each another (for example a [[Strand_Lighting|Strand]] Console can send DMX to an [[Enttec]] [[DmxEtherGate MKII|EtherGate]]).<br />
<br />
When combined with a physical DMX interface such as the [[DMX USB Pro]], LLA Live can send and receive data from traditional wired DMX networks.<br />

LLA Live is a stand-alone bootable cd containing software from the Linux Lighting Architecture project.<br />
<br />
LLA allows DMX sent using various DMX over IP protocols to be converted from one format to another. This enables devices from different manufacturers to talk to each another (for example a [[Strand_Lighting|Strand]] Console can send DMX to an [[Enttec]] [[DmxEtherGate MKII|EtherGate]]).<br />
<br />
When combined with a physical DMX interface such as the [[DMX USB Pro]], LLA Live can send and receive data from traditional wired DMX networks.<br />

<div>Is this tutorial minded on a specific interface?<br />
That's what the title says :) Although the procedure is similar for other devices.<br />
<br />
What is "Erwin Rol's driver" meant to do? (is it to support some specific hardware that is not supported directly by LLA?)<br />
LLA uses the driver to support the enttec open dmx.<br />
<br />
The first time QLC is run int the tutorial, it is run as root. Why?<br />
Good question - this should be removed. I think it was probably added to get around any permissions problems with the devices but this isn't the way to solve the problem.<br />
<br />
It would be nice if the intro explained what you can achieve over a default installation of LLA+ QLC from the repositories.</div>
