Control board based on an Arduino for a DMX-Lightfixture
Budget: €1,500 – €3,000 EUR
I am very interested in your services. I have a small light manufacturer for special lights in the event area. I am looking for a programmer for a current lighting project. This lamp should get a simple control board, which speaks DMX. The board has an Arduino Nano and Meanwell LDD-Led driver controlled by a PCA9685. In addition, the Ardunino should be able to control a PWM triac dimmer (complete module) for an incandescent lamp. Also a MAX481 to process the DMX signal.
I don't know if you have already had contact with lights from the event industry? But these are usually controlled via a DMX signal and can have an address between 1 and 512 and receive a value from 0-255 per controlled channel.
The address and some other values should be able to be adjusted with this light via an OLED display and 3 buttons. A menu would have to be set up for this. The menu has an estimated 15 subpages.
The menu or programming should have the following functions:
-Conversion of the received DMX values into PWM values for LED and incandescent lamps
-Setting the PWM of the PCA9685 (…Hz - 1500Hz) in the menu
-Different dimmer curves for the LEDs (adjustable in the menu)
-Optional 16-bit dimmer mode (adjustable in the menu)
-Stand-alone mode without DMX signal with output of fixed colors by value (0-100% each R, G, B, W) // (adjustable in the menu)
-DMX strobe channel (=on/off sequence) with variable frequency with DMX value between 0-255
-Setting for different DMX modes (different channel assignment)
-Key combination to get into the menu
-Screensaver with information about key combination + DMX address
I would be very happy to hear from you!
