Trickyd Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hello dear light-creators. I have been working on DMX controlled snowfalltubes. And have 4 working examples now. I used arduino Atmega328 chips to get to the point. I wanted triggerable, RGB DMX tubes of 1 meter long, 30 pixels in a row. I use WS2801 pixelstrip for that, back to back in a 1 meter acryllic transparant. Designed a very simple pcb for that, with Eagle and had 5 pcbs made. I am not a very good programmer, so I used 1 arduino for the DMX input and for each tube per pcb an other, in total 3 atmega328 chips, which are low cost chips. Each tube takes 4 dmx adresses, which are easy to program. the channels per tube are 1 RGB and 1 enable channel for easy trigger. One PCB take thus 8 DMX channels in total, driving 2 tubes. The first firmware is very simple, but I came to the idea to enhance the firmware, to also have the possibility to let water drops fall down and fill the tube for instance. see also: http://www.fotodick.nl/paginas/dansendelichtjes/Dansendelichtjes10.html. More in the future as programming continues DickThe Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
