StageProfi

This comes in two flavors, a USB model and an Ethernet/IP model.

 device = /dev/ttyUSB0
 device = 192.168.1.250

USB Pro

Mac

Make sure you install the drives: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

After a restart run:

 ls /dev/cu.usbserial-*

Make sure your ~/.ola/ola-usbpro.conf file matches the path above:

 device_dir = /dev
 device_prefix = ttyUSB
 device_prefix = cu.usbserial-

i.e. Look for devices at /dev/ttyUSB* , /dev/cu.usbserial-*

OLA also comes with a tool to update the firmware on a USB Pro:

 ./tools/usbpro_firmware -d /dev/cu.usbserial-0000101D -f <firmware_file>

USBDMX2

Linux

You need a udev rule like this in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

# udev rules file for the velleman dmx device
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0962", GROUP="plugdev"

There is an issue where the device isn't detected correctly the first time. You may need to restart OLA once the DMX Transmit led comes on.

Velleman VM166 / K8062

Mac

If you're installed from source you'll need the codeless KEXT which is available here. If you installed OLA from the mac binary package this is already included.

Linux

You need a udev rule like this in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

# udev rules file for the velleman dmx device
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10cf", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8062", GROUP="plugdev"

Then make sure the user olad runs as is a member of plugdev.
