as you can read in their forum the project will need lot of time, even 2 years.. pity  ( About beamertool there isn't lot of documentation available, anyway I can explain you all necessary to test it (on PC), it's based on a tool/visualizer and some staff to drive it, I'm using DMXC2 (light console) with a proper plugin, and remotely DMXC3 that drives by Artnet DMXC2. Feel free to ask and I'll tell you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2XyzxBabHU

Hi James, they replied to the thread and confirmed in on their plans to implement .ild compatibility, I really hope you can have a mutual collaboration  I really hope for that! Beamertool is an emulaser soft (the best out now) for Windows and Raspberry (more developed), it supports Artnet, he can use textures and videos to create effects, .ild is needed and will be integrated

Hi everybody! Actually Beamertool running on a Raspberry3 is the best option for emulate laser with videoprojector, unfortunately it doesn't support ILD file, I hope someone here could be interested on help them. Maybe there is easy to do! Thank you a lot for the kind help

Thank you Emanuel for posting, actually qlcplus is a "light sequencer" and I need the opposite, something for read the DMX line and pass the commands to laser.
Thank you James you opened my eyes, I got in trouble because I see u talking about USB DACs and I supposed your software "play" through USB waves and directly drive laser.
Then I should find the software for playing it, and ask the developer to integrate it with Arduino DMX.
It's a bit of messy to look for the player, can you please suggest me something for Rasberry? Thank you

Thank you, it's clear!
What about the remote controlling? There is something aleady developed about it?
I already posted about DMX in "other hardware",
are you the developer of the LB software?
I would suggest a project about DMX, based on Arduino (there are already libraries developed for DMX input) and Raspberry:
Arduino is sniffing the DMX looking for some particular addresses, for example 200 to 205 DMX address, and transmit to Raspberry by I2C the values of bytes received at those addresses when those are being trasmitted on the dmx channel, using Interrupt Raspberry will acquire them. Raspberry store them into memory locations and use them like user paramenters from interface.
There may be:
address 200 and 201: two bytes for program number, LB will execute suddenly ILD file according to this number, for example 00356.ild or 65535.ild
address 202: 100 values for master intensity (0-100%) (all RGB will be reduced by amount according ILD values)
address 203: 256 values X offset for ILD file (if ILD is not executed in the desidered place, it's possible to offset horizzontally the sequence)
address 204: Y offset
address 205: speed, 128 leaves the ILD speed without changes, 0 increase by some% (max) and 256 slower down to min (some %, for example 1000% ten times slower)
I don't see other useful parameters. How you consider this? I think it will substitute controllers which at least cost 200$ on the marked, future donations should consider that.
Raspberry allows load ILD files remotely by LAN interface.. so we can just create ILD effects offline and upload them to Rasberry, then edit offset and speed by dmx.
Thank you for kind attention

Hi all, may I ask if one day DMX addressing will be supported on Laserboy?
Well, I explain myself better:
I've a small club and I'm going to buy a good chinese laser, trying to contain costs I become interested on this project. I would use a raspberry (the last version if necessary) and connect to ILDA, play files.ilda and change them by a DMX command. The computer supposed to drive the laser is 25 meters far away, I can use it for upload by ethernet files ILDA and run them manually remotely to check effect, but when the club is working I need to implement laser into the cue lists of light games and it's driven by DMX.
The DMX software address the Raspberry (with DMX expansion board) and forward it one byte, containing 0-255 ad number of the ilda file to be played. Eventually there may be address DMX+1 so with two bytes we have 65536 possible programs.
Another solution can be use Harduino with DMX module, which place on Raspberry GPIO the value of the program that should be played.
Another solution is that the DMX software is able to run an exe file, that may through ethernet send to Raspberry the number of program to play. I asked already to the DMX software house.
There is any kind of remote control already developed for LB?
thank you

Thank you a lot for reply!
Now it's more clear, especially the DAC side, lease let me ask something more, thank you:
U said to use 5 channels, RGB and XY, what about intensity blanking? and about Z? I also hear about ude 8 channels USB audio devide, but you confirm only 5 DACs are used?
About shutter, Interlock A and B aren't connected?
As I understood the Lightboy has its own graphic developement interface, is it compatible with outpit ILDA files produced by other softwares?
Can you kindly indicate me where I can ask about DMX support and LAN/network to developers?
Thank you a lot

I also saw different projects about raspberry and DMX, would know if there is any integration yes to call laser sequences from DMX input

Hi, I'm new here, I'm going to install on my club a laser projector and I'm facing some issues, this project may let me save some money. If it can accomplish, I'll be happy to donate you!
Here are some questions, kindly breafly support me answering, thanks.
1) Is the software designed for Raspberry, and does it work better on the new version 3?
2) To drive ILDA I suppose I've to create an adaptor from GPIO, with a DAC, there is a project made and tested? (just say me the name and I'll search for it). Does it worth/be comparable to the ones on the market?
3) the software for Raspberry is working stand alone or can create effects? (a graphic interface)
4) Does the software supports the ethernet to be driven from another software? Maybe a PC version of Laserboy or another software like iShow, Quickshow.. or does it supports only effects inside an SD card?
5) Can it be connected somehow to DMX channels to call the programs?
Thank you a lot
