Library for ESP8266 implements Art-Net and sACN with example DMX input/output to/from network

LXDMXWiFi_library

Library for ESP8266 implements Art-Net and sACN with example sketches showing both DMX input to and DMX output from network.

LXDMXWiFi encapsulates functionality for sending and receiving DMX over an ESP8266 WiFi connection It is a virtual class with concrete subclasses LXWiFiArtNet and LXWiFiSACN which specifically implement the Artistic Licence Art-Net and PLASA sACN 1.31 protocols.

Included examples of the library's use:

     DMX input to network using UART and MAX485 driver chip

     Test of receiving two universes of DMX data from network

     DMX output from network using UART and MAX485 driver chip
        This example includes Eagle files and photos of completed project using this example
        It also includes python script for remote management of protocol/wifi settings

Photo shows complete WiFi to DMX unit with RJ45 connector for DMX output: (not to be confused with ethernet)

On the left side is connector for external 5v power and default boot push button. (holding down default boot forces unit into access point mode allowing configuration via network using python tool.)
