a artnet to I2C convertor for controlling LEDstrips like WS2812, WS2811, SK6188,... Can be used with any software that can handle Artnet like resolume, jinx, glediator,.... /* This example will receive multiple universes via Artnet and control a strip of ws2811 leds via Adafruit's NeoPixel library: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel This example may be copied under the terms of the MIT license, see the LICENSE file for details */
stuff used: 1x arduino MEGA 1x rj 45 cable 1x ethernet shield 1x WS2812 LED strip (150 pixels in this case) 1x 5V= powersupply 300Watts (could be less or more, pending on the power and amount of LED's in the strip, i just used an old powersupply of a pc) A PC with the software and a network connection.
when using resolume software, use following steps to get correct settings.
-
open resolume 2)go to output => advanced
-
left above corner click "+" and choose "dmx lumiverse"
-

-
go back to main screen and go to Arena => preferences
-
choose DMX
-
set next settings Device = Artnet Lumiverse = Lumiverse 1 Subnet = 0 Universe = 1 Target IP = Broadcast
