    ARTNET Again an issue to connect it.

    by chromaphase » Tue Jan 14, 2014 6:54 pm

    Hello Guys.
    First thanks for this awesome software and your fast updates.

    I did use with success mad light with my USB DMX.
    Now Im working on a bigger project, so I bought an Artnet 1024 device.
    I did some research about on the forums, And try everything i Could.

    My artnet is a chinese version (im based in Shanghai)
    On PC, I used their mini software that tell me the ip of this artnet is 192.168.0.7 (sub 255.255.255.0)
    However, When i put it on my mac (macbookpro 2010 with mavericks) , and assign my mac to have the same kind of IP (192.168.0.3 for instance)
    it doesnt work, either i try 255.0.0.0 submask or 255.255.255.0 submask

    It is well found in madmapper, but do not send any Dmx signal. (artnet dmx led not on, and my led not working)
    (I tried before my led with my usb dmx, its working just fine)
    I also try the NMU software from enttec to "test" my artnet device, but he found nothing (I know my artnet itsnt an enttec, anyway i try but nothing)

    Looking for advices, I tried everything i could so far, no signal is sent to my dimmer.
    Thanks.

    Hello

    Thanks for the answer.

    Actually I found the solution :

    The Artnet wasnt in Node mode, it was in server mode. Also it got the 2.0.0.8 IP with 255.0.0.0 Mask
    The problem was using my Desktop PC windows to check it (they only give an .exe with the artnet) for some reason my PC sucks.
    I try it on bootcamp on my mac and i can fully configure the artnet, node mode, check the good IP...

    Back to OSX, setup it accordingly to the madmapper tutorial and it works fine now.

    ;-)
