  • Page 11: Revision Change

    SPI compatible, but in reality, this is seldom the case. Timing is very important on an SPI-variant bus, so it might be possible that you will not find a setting on the ArtNet node which is compatible with your ledstrip. (or that it is not stable)

  • Page 12: Asymetrical Vs Symetrical Data Signals

    On the picture above, you can clearly see DO (data output) and DI (data input) To overcome the problems with longer cable lengths, Lux Lumen made the 6 outputs on the card so, that they output a symmetrical signal. This makes that you can have longer cable lengths as in standard non symmetrical SPI-variants.

  • Page 14 The ArtNet node has 6 six independently programmable data output ports. The Artnet node has an internal switch on the ethernet ports. This switch can handle up to 300 DMX universes in broadcast. So this means, it can handle up to 300 DMX universes on its artnet ‘input’, and send 300 DMX universes to the...

  • Page 15: Connecting The Artnet Node To A Pc

  • Page 16: The Ip Adress Of The Node

    For example: 5.11.654.231 is an IP address in subnet number 5. You have to set the IP address on your PC to the same subnet as the IP address of the ArtNet node. Since the ArtNet standard always uses IP addresses in the subnet ‘2’, the IP address on the PC has to be 2.xxx.xxx.xxx.
