Hey! I'm currently working on a project in which I need some RGB LED tape to chase from one end of the tape to the other (and then repeat). Obviously to do this I'll need some kind of intelligent RGB Tape and some kind of controller. The problem I'm facing is that I need this to integrate into my current show control system (Weigl ProCommander) which only features a single universe of DMX. Now when pixel mapping gets involved, naturally I lose a large number of DMX channels very quickly, which isn't ideal. My ideal solution is likely some form of intelligent RGB Tape which includes an auto programme that replicates what I'm after, that I can then turn on/off via a DMX Relay (would also require the fixture remembering settings on power cycle). Finding an auto programme which does exactly what I'm after seems remarkably unlikely so I thought I'd come here in hope someone more experienced in intelligent LED Tape might be able to suggest some solutions as I'm currently going round in circles from google searching. I've seen a few solutions that involve small Arduino controllers which looks like a potential solution. My current show controller features network functions so this could be a good solution for control/communication to the LED Tape. Unfortunately I'm not experienced in the world of Arduino and coding etc. (Open and eager to learning it, but unfortunately can't dedicate a huge portion of time to it.) Any help, recommendations, and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
