I have +10 years of experience in programming. I have many project working with such hardware. Take a look at this project for example: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/Software-Architecture-User-Interface-IA/Communication-Software-Application-LED/ I have worked there with LED Panels with AT commands. You just need to provide manual of DMX box. Then I will read those txt files and manage DMX boxes for you. Thanks, Helmot

Hello, Sounds interesting. We could discuss some details and I could start the development/implementation after we agreed. Thanks Igor.

Hello, I have large experience in controlling DMX lighting controllers. Currently I have an Open USB controller from ENTTEC. I developed some lighting project combined with XBMC using that device. It is basically a USB serial communication device. To control that device there are several settings however there exist an API developed by ENTTEC to drive the lights. It is very robust and nice working system. Based on your description I need more information regarding the controller itself. If it is from ENTTEC we have already half job done. If it is something else I need to investigate. I suggest to discuss and maybe we can find an agreement. Kind Regards, Patrik

Hi. I have about 15 years of programming experience. Mostly I used C, C++ and C# for my projects development. If you insist the project can be done in VB.Net, though I prefer C#. Before you award the project to me, please, send me a documentation about the DMX box.

Hi, better is to generate all in memory in the same program, not using one program to generate file and other for reading it, I think. Do you tested the system and it works from VS VB.Net code? I have VS 2008 installed, but main code must be the same in VS 2010. I can install VS 2010 if this project needs it. Just write me PM for more details. Best regards, Remis

Hi, I am Steve and I'm an engineer based in Reading UK. I have some experience in developing DMX controllers. I am expereinced in a number of programming languages, however I have not developed in vb.net. I have used c# and VB6 a lot, and I am willing to pick up VB.net for the purpose of this project. Is there an existing DMX controller that you have which connects to the PC you are going to use, or does the DMX controller need to be built as well as the control software? I would be able to produce a program that detects when a new TXT file has been produced, reads the DMX data from it and passes this data to a DMX controller which controlls the light bar. I am also able to produce the DMX controller than plugs into the PC and the lights. This would appear to the PC as a virtual COM port. The DMX device will require channel information to control it as well as the intensity of each colour. Will the channel information be contained within the TXT file that you are producing, or would you like this to be set in the softare that you would like to be produced? if the latter, then it is important to consider how you would like to be able to reconfigure this in the future in case of changes. I would be happy to discuss this project with you further. Regards, -Steve
