Hello

This artnet controller seems to be configured first with a chinese software with a windows system
Do you have set this ?

I don’t know how to do that step,sorry for my ignorance I don’t know how to configure the art net box :weary::weary::weary::weary:

Photon works with Art-Net to DMX and sACN E1.31 to DMX interfaces.
Your photo seems to show you have a MCSWE interface.
The USB-DMX512 (non ArtNet) and the MKII Pro (ArtNet) interfaces look similar.
Are you sure you have the proper interface?

I see, I think I have the wrong hardware. Thanks for your response. I will acquired another Interface.

I recommend the DMXking eDMX1 Pro interface. Very easy to use. Plug and Play with Photon after changing Photon’s Universe from 1 to 0.

Thanks for all your help here I really want to get the full app I thinks is the best app on all the App Store, I spend all ready a few bucks and I find this PKnight 2.4g wireless wifi Dax plug mini size using artnet. They said work perfect whit photon, I don’t know if you know about this hardware?? Thanks for all your time.

I’ve seen the PKnight but I don’t own one or know how well it works with Photon. I looked around for any documentation for it but I couldn’t find anything.

I went with the eDMX1 Pro for Photon because others have used it successfully and it was very easy to connect.
