sbillinghurst Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Has anyone found any software that allows the user to write their own html interface for the DMX dongles? I would like to create a web front end so I can use my wifi PDA as a riggers remote? after many searches in BR and Google I still turn up nothing specific to my requirements as web enabled DMX control is not usually desirable I presume? Thanks in advance, Long time lurker first time poster. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHoward Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 It might be easier just to run some local software on the PC with the dongle attached, and then control the PC wireless via something like VNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wol Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Can I ask why you want to write your own HTML interface rather than just using software which already has a HTML interface available, and if theres any particular feature you wish to implement in control of the DMX channels? MagicQ already has an inbuilt web server to allow people to use their wifi enabled PDA to act as a riggers remote, and gives command line control of fixtures, as well as remote access of other screens in the MagicQ software. I'm guessing you already have use some lighting software on a computer though if you already have a DMX dongle. Not sure whether you have any other dedicated hardware / what dongle you use / what software you use though, as it might be fairly easy to get a web interface to work with whatever software you're currently using. So I'll do the usual call for more info! And welcome to the B.R! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henny Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Take a look at vvvv.org it can talk to many diffrent dongles and has a webserver bit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbillinghurst Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'll have a look at magicQ and vvv.org thanks, I have the DMX2USB dongle (cheap and cheerful to play with) unfortunately because this is a uni setup VNC is seen as a virus/security risk and is not allowed to run on the machines here (over protective IT dept) and I found RDP too clunky on the pda to be of use.The reason for my writing my own was just about flexibility and pda screen compatibility, if there is something out here I have missed great.. no point in re-inventing the wheel now! Stuart, A concurrent post has been automatically merged from this point on. MagicQ looked just the job until I discovered that to use the remote keypad (perfect for PDA use) I have to use the magicQwing :) vvvv.org looks a little complex but I will work my way through the supporting docs, any other suggestions welcomed...

Chris Beesley Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 IIRC there may be some functionality for this in the Daslight software... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 There's this: http://www.chromakinetics.com/DMX/DMXweb.html But it only works with the Enttec Pro dongle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
