Blocks ArtNET Fixture

You can create your own ArtNET driver/fixture in Pixilab Blocks. There are a bounch of them available on Github. I created own fixtures for 2 devices recenty, and it is pretty straight forward when you look at it. But you need to now that JSON format is pretty picky with formatting. For example if you have a trailing comma after an object it is invalid. Easy one to miss!

Otherwise you need to create the JSON you need, put it into the /fixture/Brand/TheDevice.json and restart Pixilab Blocks. Make sure to select the correct type and if the device need a normalized value or not. See documentation here.

Fun Generation

The Fun Generation LED Pot 12x1w is a simple light for small setups, home playing or for test-purpose I guess. But it works! You find the fixture here.

4-channel

This is the most simple version the fixture, with 4-channel setting.

{
	"channels": [
		{
			"name": "Red",
			"type": "Analog_8",
			"normalized": true,
			"defaultValue": 255
		},
		{
			"name": "Green",
			"type": "Analog_8",
			"normalized": true,
			"defaultValue": 255
		},
		{
			"name": "Blue",
			"type": "Analog_8",
			"normalized": true,
			"defaultValue": 255
		},
		{
			"name": "White",
			"type": "Analog_8",
			"normalized": true,
			"defaultValue": 255
		}
	],
	"note": "LED pot 12x1W RGBW 4-chan (jonas@jalma.se)"
}

All you need is an array of objects that specify each channel and a note describing the fixture. There are also fixtures for the setting 6 and 8-channels with more features.

6-channel

The 6-channel setting is similar to the 4-channel, but have a dimmer as the first channel and strobe as last channel. This is probably the most useful setup.

8-channel

The 8-channel have the same setup but use channel 6 and 7 for some automated programs and standard color setups to pick between. This is not very usable in production.

Stairville

I also created a fixture for Stairville DS-2 RF dimmer which only have one channel specified. You find the fixture here.

{
	"channels": [
		{
			"name": "Intensity",
			"type": "Analog_8",
			"normalized": false,
			"defaultValue": 100
		}
	],
	"note": "DS-2 RF dimmer value 0-100 (jonas@jalma.se)"
}
