Does this device support DMX512 input in addition to the output, or is it an output only device? Can it read data from other controllers?

Yes it dose it works with analog and RGB lights deciphering the two with the program , not all dj dmx lights are listed but you can make your own. All this doggle dose is be able for the end user to be able to use a laptop to talk with the dmx lights so far I'm impressed with the dmx doggle the best program to use is freestyler it isan open source program and best of all it's free if you need any more help add yourself to my fan page facebook.com/DJKIDD14 .hope that helps.

Mine don't work at all with DMX. That's the flaw with these Chinese made lights. Also why they're so cheap! What I do is set one to do whatever (strobe, fade, react to audio) with no controller and the rest I set to slave and that works. I just wish the DMX controller would work. Bah.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit.Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

what controller are we talking about. I have installed a lot of MM. Can you be more specific.

I did not even open the box...I sent it back because I found a different DMX solution. Sorry I don't have any info for you about that.

It's recognized and works fine. I did not download any software, didn't have to, but it does not come with a CD as suggested above. This also has a Direct Inpup switch on the bottom, for old games. Otherwise, leave it on X input, as ms dropped support for D Input long ago and refuses to do anything about it with their own controller.

You can set the controller using the xinput, and it read the dualshock as an Xbox controller. This is helpful because most games and PCs read Xbox controllers.

For sure!But if your DX8 had not been upgraded (register your transmitter at spektrumrc.com for firmware update) to DSMX, it will bind in DSM2 mode.

Only an output for computer. If your looking for a pioneer midi controller with a USB input try the XDJ AERO or R1.

it has a test function that allows some modes, Red, Green, Blue,Yellow,Cyan,Magenta,white, Jump 3, jump 7,fade 3, fade 7 and the jumps and fades are speed adjustable. it does NOT output these modes via dmx(so you can't have the modes synced) and you can't trigger these modes via dmx. all in all its a great unit tho.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, I have one controller hooked up to it wirelessly. The 2nd controller will not connect, am I only able to connect one device at a time now? It is currently in xinput mode. Also, I am using this on a Raspberry Pi. Currently running RetroPie for this controller.

Are these considered (addressable) strips? for instance if I get a DMX controller would I have control over each individual led? Im making a led display need to be able to adjust color/brightness of each pixel independently

The DFi product should operate with the Chauvet units on the same DMX setup, even the same universe. However, you probably can't use the Chauvet DMX TX to "talk to" the DFi RX or vice-versa. I've used these with other wireless systems on the same rig. You can choose from one of several frequency presets, so if you have problems, try changing that.

Our LED flashes RED all the time and have never seen a Green LED. However using Light Boogie we did get the USB-DMX controller to work and control lamps - but not with FreeStyle. Using FTDi drivers with our own app have not been successful either even though the USB device is recognized. Since there is basically no support information that is available we can not recommend this product if you don't use the exact application stated.

I can't speak to Delphi compatibility but google "DMX USB Pro Widget API Specification 1.44" to find the Enttec API specification for the Enttec DMX USB Pro Widget which this device emulates (though not perfectly by any means). In particular, most of what you need to know is discussed in the 'Application Message Format' and the 'Output Only Send DMX Packet Request'. In essence, you'll simply send a sequence of bytes to the serial (i.e., COMx) port associated with the USB port into which you've plugged the device. There's a block of header bytes, then your DMX values, followed by a trailer byte. Once the device receives a block, it will repeat sending the DMX data until you send it a new block. That's it. Not really even an API, just some basic serial messages. The device only supports the DMX controller functionality -- that is, it won't act as a DMX receiver (at least that's what the manufacturer says). In Windows, in order to map a USB device to a virtual COM port, you'll want to download and install the FTDI drivers (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and it's best to use the Setup Executable noted in the Comments). Have fun...

I did use it with Freestyler however, I changed over to a Entec because I also used other DMX Programs that were NOT compatible.
