Hello Guys, I wondering about Sacn protocol in VL
Is there a plan for a proper nuget, a hello world for this protocol that seems to be everywhere now…
@nissidis as already work on a implementation here
But its a little bit too complex for my understanding and for my purpose
Does someone have a simple patch for basic control with that protocol… ?
Few little light to control on the same ip…
Thanks you very much :)
@Raphael Can be, it is just matter of time (as usual). Did you try to use it? If you have any questions I LL be glad to guide you through and why not to update it accordingly.
Hello @nissidis,
Thanks for the quick return,
I think I not far… how do you input the data in your patch…
Dummy question I feel, A Spread to sequence…? why is it on create ?
Thank you ?
@Raphael this one looks weird, or in a very early stage. Can you pull again the repo please?
and check the example How to join Multicast Groups
The main question is do you want to send data or to receive ?
I want to send data!
And yes I will try to pull the repo again…
Come back soon in front of the computer
@Raphael Ah ok I see now, yes sorry, had over a year to work on this.
So, there is nothing yet to send data to sACN, I couldn’t test it back then and it wasn’t also in my scope. What I was looking for was to receive data from a lightdesk with a fairly complicated fixtures setup (aprox 2000 fixtures).
The only thing that I had (and still have) to test this was the sACN View
I will see if I can get there but probably not the next couple of hours, I ll keep you posted.
I agree an official sACN implementation would be nice…
I see it more and more since installations get bigger and bigger, multicast is a real advantage over ArtNet.
Devvvvs, any attempts/plans in the work for this? 😇
@Raphael I wasnt aware of this tbh, and I like the idea of starting from scratch rather than working on an already existing lib like Kadmium
@TremensS yes, that would be great and indeed, it is the last four years (at least) where I don’t see anymore Artnet in big venues.
Hello @Raphael I just updated the sACN lib, I did it from scratch, so expect to have some issues in the very beginning, however it is possible now to send data from vvvv to ACN as well as receive them from a lightdesk.
All my tests where done with sACNView, feel free to play with it, test it and send me your remarks!
Hey @nissidis Thanks, thats super cool,
I wont have time to tried that currently but the project I was working on will be back in november, and I have update to work on, so it will be a good opportunity to tried this :)
Ps: Ive noticed few red node on the “Multicast Groups Receiver and universes” exemples…
But for my purpose the send Packets will be probably perfect… I ll keep in touch
Thanks Youuuu!!
@Raphael
yes yes, I changed several things and i didnt manage to update the multicast receiver, but I ll do it asap!
cheers!
@Raphael
I cleaned it up (removed the old universes example and fixed the multicast receiver example). It definitely needs much more improvement, but let me know once you are back to your project.
@Raphael just tested the sender to a GMA3, works pretty well!
@nissidis Hey thank you for checking it, I didnt had the occasion to try it yet, I have a installation running also talking to a GMA, but still in artnet, Its working, so for now, I dont want to break anything, but as soon as I have free time to tried it, I will be back! Thank you for this really nice feature !! :)
