ofxColorKinetics

Requirements

This library requires ofxNetwork for networking.

Also, make sure that your computer is configured to be on the same subnet as your power supply!

Usage

LightingController is the entry point for this addon -- create an instance of std::shared_ptr<LightingController> to get going.

Once you've created a LightingController, you can add power supplies via addPowerSupply(). You'll need the IP Address and receiving port, which you can detect with ColorKinetic's (free!) QuickPlay Pro software.

Once you've added power supplies, you can use addFixture() to add lighting fixtures. You'll need the number of pixels (1 for a ColorBlast, since it only has 1 addressable RGB triplet, or 50 for a ColorFlex, which has 50 pixels, for example) and the first DMX address of the string.

There are several ways to add fixtures:

• addFixture("192.168.0.17", 0, 1) would add a ColorBlast-type unit that uses DMX Addresses 0, 1, and 2 for red, green, and blue.
• addFixture("192.168.0.17", ColorBlast::make(0)) would do the same thing, but uses a shorthand.

Classes have been added for ColorBlast, 50 pixel ColorFlex, and 48- and 72-inch ColorBlaze (ColorBlaze48/ColorBlaze72) fixtures.

Examples

• example-singleColor creates a single power supply and sends a fading color to all 512 DMX channels. This is a good first test to see if your network is configured properly.
