DMX Out

Hi Guys,
Sorry for a basic questions, but:
How can I get DMX out to work via artnet?
I have my net, subnet, and universe set to 0.
Refresh rate is at 44.
I’m broadcasting to everything 255.255.255.255
And I have a constant chop setup as the input for testing.

Do I need to label the constant’s out channel anything particular to make this work?
I’ve tried Channel1, and just 1. When I move the slider nothing works.

This is setup to local host for testing. I’m using an Artnet sniffer tool and it doesn’t see any traffic on the local machine.

Much thanks

disable your windows firewall?

also make sure you are sending out values between 0-255 instead of 0-1.
You don’t need to rename you channels. It just uses the order in which you send them out.
I use ArtNetominator as an easy tool to see if you have artnet traffic.

the labels don’t matter. the first channel you feed it will be dmx channel 1, second will be 2, so on and so forth. If you want to send something to dmx channel 100, you gotta put 99 dummy channels in before it.

Like nettoyeur said, check that you’re sending values between 0 and 255 (with a math CHOP) rather than the constant CHOP’s default of 0 to 1.

post a toe file if you’re still having issues, might be something simple.

Thank you guys.

I’m using the same program haha. My firewall is disabled. I’ll set my range to 255. that’s probably it. I was more concerned about the order and naming, sounds pretty straight forward :slight_smile:
