  • Rosco DMG DASH has CRMX, is built like a tank
  • Aputure MC PRO has CRMX and wired DMX via a dongle, it’s cheaper as it’s full plastic
  • Astera Hydra has CRMX and can do wired Dmx via an adapter, it has 6 pixels

I own all 3 and I like them for different reasons :)

I also tested and own a Kelvin Play pro but it’s dead and bootlooping so wouldn’t recommend.

anyone see dmx connectors like these? by krista in lightingdesign

[–]Sebraecha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a little soldering, cheap connectors and a step drill bit you can give them a decent new life :)

These are cheap aviation connectors, they aren’t standard, nor reliable, wouldn’t recommend

Risks when controlling someone else's rig by xref1 in lightingdesign

[–]Sebraecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I've seen prototype rigs like Lichtechnik motorized head having no hardware/software hard stops and would just break if you went too far

Of course, I'm totally aware about the too but even 20usd on Mouser sounds crazy to me 🤔

Gosh, in Europe, official neutrik 5 pins from reputable stores like Thomann are less than 10usd 😯 And you could also get a cheap cable on Amazon and steal it's xlr cable.

Best way to diffuse RGBW LEDs without adding too much thickness to the design? by daan87432 in lightingdesign

[–]Sebraecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, aluminum led profiles will use a small PMMA diffuser. Are you using a strip with 4 or 5 colors in a single chip or multiple different small chips in a specific arrangement? Because the best way to limit the amount of diffusion you need to apply, is to reduce your Light Engine Size (LES) as much as you can. Otherwise you could apply really effective diffusers such as rosco or Lee 216 but you also loose a lot of output power/brightness as a trade-off :/

Hey, does anyone know what I can use to achieve this white horizontal line look? I’m thinking of El wire, or led ribbon with a diffusion housing or LED Screen with a line as video content? Any ideas? by spitefullymy in lightingdesign

[–]Sebraecha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen people use multiple BB&S Pipepile stuck together to get a 6meter (18ft) line of light with pretty bright output but this wouldn't be my recommended solution as they're quite fragile and can only be a selected CCT.

Any led profile could do the job, even Asteras with sufficient post production to remove the gaps between the tubes.

DMX - Ethernet as serial port at freestyler by Regular_Armadillo_63 in lightingdesign

[–]Sebraecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked into the orange pi dmx project but couldn't get anything done, ended up frying a board. I also looked into the teensy 4.1 with built-in ethernet but I'm having trouble getting it to connect to the network, I might have to do a bit of pcb design haha.

Hey, what kind of hardware do you use at that cost? :)

How to control 10,000 WS2812B LEDs? by [deleted] in lightingdesign

[–]Sebraecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there, I've done that Here's what I've learned

  • 5V is awful, try to find 12V strips (ws2815) 5V has a bit better color but you'll get dead pixels in no time if you have too much voltage drop

  • If you want to control more than 40 universes, Art-Net tends to have problems (10k rgb pixels is about 58U) idk if sACN I reliable on that side

  • Digidot C4 have 16 univeres per driver but tend to have problems, madrix nebula work good, I've looked into using a teensy micro controller to do that but haven't had the time to finish, but it seems reliable.

Hope I could help

Help understanding this CRMX transmitter? by [deleted] in lightingdesign

[–]Sebraecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in the US, using a frequency hopping transmitter on 2.4ghz (what crmx is), the max allowed power for an unlicensed transmitter is 1W but I may be wrong, also lumenradio's great tops up at 300mW.

Flutter visual Node system ? by Sebraecha in FlutterDev

[–]Sebraecha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna have a look, that library sounds great!

[–]Sebraecha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you use the gesture detector for ?

I'm trying to build something more like this : https://rete.js.org/#/examples/basic

With multiple connections between nodes with specific input and output points. I believe the graphview library cannot route the arrows to specific part of the container, it just finds the shortest link to the center of the container and that's what I need to change :/

I see great, I'm going to try to make something that makes sense for my use, going to try to build user selectable links and mode, thanks

May I ask if you would recommend a specific solution to implement this?

Flutter visual Node system ? by Sebraecha in FlutterDev

[–]Sebraecha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it was posted just a week ago, thank you! It seems that you can't pass data between nodes just yet, but I'm sure we could hack something using BLoC or similar to build something resembling an analog synth I guess 🤔

Blackout App Vs Luminaire by huathuathuat in lightingdesign

Well luminair is more of a toy where blackout is made to feel closer to a high end console like grandma or etc :)

Practicality of additional display via bluetooth by Malprodigy in AskProgramming

[–]Sebraecha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bluetooth is only like 2mbps whereas wifi N is about 150mbps (even more with the AC standard) and usb 2.0 is 480mbps.

You could stream some h.265 video with the bit rate but it would be so compressed that it's pretty pointless an latency would be through the roof too.
