WiFi ArtNet V4 to DMX, with experimental RDM support

Please see the issues tab for known issues or to submit bugs or suggestions

You can use the included USB to barrel jack adapter (only USB power is needed, no data transfer takes place), or any 5V power supply (center positive). Once power is applied, the screen should light up after 1-2 seconds and say "booting...". If the screen shows Recovery mode, try reseting the device, and if the issue persists, contact support either at our issues tracker or on discord.

On your first boot, the device will start a WiFi hotspot called DMXCube mini W XXXXXX, where XXXXXX is a 6 digit unique ID to distinguish multiple Cubes, with a password of "DMXCube2024" (You can always check the password by pressing and holding the knob). Connect to the hotspot, then "Log in" or open 2.0.0.1 in a browser.

Note that the hotspot is, by default, only for accessing the settings page. You'll need to enable Standalone mode in the web UI if you want to send ArtNet to the device in hotspot mode.

Updating the display often is very slow and makes the DMX lights flicker. Because of this, the display only updates while booting or if the knob is turned or pressed. Due to this, new values do not automatically appear on the screen, so you'll need to turn the knob back and forth for updates.

In V3.1.0 a new feature was added enabling automatic display updates

Open the device's IP in the web browser (this is 2.0.0.1 in Hotspot Mode, but the display always shows the current IP)

In the Wifi tab, enter your SSID and password. Click save (wait a bit and it should go green and say Settings Saved). Now click reboot and the device should connect to your Wifi.

If the device can't connect to the wifi or get a DHCP assigned address within the specified timeout (by default 15 seconds), it will start the hotspot and wait for 30 seconds for you to connect. If a client doesn't connect to the WiFi hotspot in time, the device will restart and try again.

I have allowed for 2 methods to restore the factory default settings: Pressing the knob during power on or multiple power cycles.

Method 1: Press the encoder while the device boots, then release it after about 1-2 seconds and then short press it again to make sure the device doesn't reset accidentally. Wait for about 10 seconds to abort factory reset

Method 2: Allow the Cube about 1-4 seconds to start, then power cycle it. Do this at least 5 times to restore factory default settings.

I have implemented as many DMX Workshop/ArtNet V4 features as I possibly could. You can change settings such as merge mode, IP address, DHCP, port addresses, and node ID (to differentiate multiple DMXCubes on the same network) Most of these are also available via the web UI.

• sACN and ArtNet V4 support
• 2 full universes of DMX output with full RDM support for both outputs
• Up to 1360 ws2812(b) pixels - 8 full universes
• DMX/RDM out one port, ws2812(b) out the other
• DMX in - send to any ArtNet device
• Web UI with mobile support
• Web UI uses AJAX & JSON to minimize network traffic used & decrease latency
• Pixel FX - a 12 channel mode for ws2812 LED pixel control

I'd like to thank these people. They have either contributed with donations, a large amount of testing and feedback, or with their own code/projects that have been of assistance or inspiration.
