DMX Controller

Categories: PLEX, Lighting
This DMX controller to made to control stage/party lights through the DMX signal. This DMX signal is widely used for stage lighting systems at festival and clubs. I have some lights that I take to parties that i would want to have more control over, thankfully they use the DMX interface to control them. For a while I have been wanting to make a DMX controller to control the lights, smoke machine and others. I did a lot of research into how a DMX controller works and how I would go about making one fore my self. I started making the interface without knowing how the signal would be sent. The controller sat on my desk for weeks before i had time again to finish it. The controller works well but will need some program upgrades soon to make the functions better. specifications:
  • 16×2 LCD screen
  • 6 programmable buttons
  • 8 address selection button
  • 8 sliding variable resistors
  • internal batteries with external power
  • XLR DMX signal
Further development:
  • programmable timing and fading
  • wireless controller
