A £35 dual-universe ArtNet node
Arduino-based ArtNet Node v1
This is a device that converts an ArtNet signal to two universes of DMX. I've tested it as working fully with QLC+ and ETC Nomad on both universes, at standard frame rates.
Apologies for the state of the Fritzing file, I'll clean it up when I can be bothered. You need to use Arduino 0023 and the bundled libraries, because some registers were renamed after Arduino 1.0.
Features
- Two Universe ArtNet to DMX
- Option of both 5-pin and 3-pin output for both universes
- LCD Screen displaying IP address (for now, IP address needs to be manually assigned)
- RGB LED displaying online/offline state (detects being connected to network and receiving valid packets)
- Small form-factor
