How to simply turn on the Light

Use the light switch next to the kitchen. You can dim the light with the rotary knob on the side.

Why

The metalab needs some new lights.

ART-net is awesome.


How

Raspberry Pi 3 + Touchscreen

Distro based on the QLC+ image (raspbian jessie)

QLC+ X-server less build that renders directly in GL buffers for performance

H801 based clients (ESP8266)

Arduino based firmware that implements ART-net


Temporary setup with QLC+

Connect to "metalights" WLAN

Set OUTPUT to 10.20.255.255

Set ARTnet uiniverse to 3

There are 5 channels / Umbrella

R,G,B,WW,CW

If CW or WW are anything else but "0" R,G and B are disabled by firmware

If R,G or B are anything but "0" CW and WW are disabled by firmware

This is to save our powersupplies from sudden heat death.

(105 watt / Umbrella max)
