I'm using an Enttec Open DMX USB Interface with a Raspberry Pi 5 trying to control DMX lights (a PAR LED RGBW) for a project. The lights work perfectly with QLC+, proving the hardware setup is correct, but I can't get them to respond when using OLA or Python control.
Hardware:
-Raspberry Pi 5
-Enttec Open DMX USB Interface
-DMX lights with addresses set to 001 and 006
All fixtures and cabling confirmed working with QLC+
Software:
-OLA installed but unsure about configuration - Can access OLA web interface at localhost:9090 but not sure about proper setup
-Port is correctly detected at /dev/ttyUSB0
Could you help with:
- Proper OLA configuration steps for Enttec Open DMX
- How to verify if OLA is correctly communicating with the interface - Any specific settings needed in the web interface
-Whether I should use OLA's Python API instead of direct serial communication
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thnk you so much
