Hello everyone,

I had a very successful Halloween Light and Sound show all thanks to QLC+ ! I am planning on using QLC+ again for my Christmas show as well. I thought some might enjoy a video of the show. Kids and adults loved it! It was programmed via MIDI and MIDI was passed into QLC+ via virtual midi cable (LoopBe1). DMX out was via E1.31 Bridge, and controllers are home built DMX 16 channel dimmers. The show had a total of 64 channels. In addition, I used 12 RGB Par Cans (86 LED's each) They were sound triggered controlled.

You can ask questions or follow my progress with QLC+ and my holiday light shows by visiting my Facebook page at;

Nice!
I'd love to see some video of this (or future) show.
Markus Baertschi

Here my small video contribution. This is a party for my daughter in a cabin in the woods. The equipment is:

* Magic ball, changes color with the music beat
* LED strip, changes color and flashes with the music beat
* 3 RGB PARs, change color with the music volume
* A laptop with Mixxx for the music. Mixxx transmits beat and volume information via midi to QLCplus (See https://sourceforge.net/p/qlcplus/discu ... /be3a87e4/)

* Video1: Installed lights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLowyMfkJ_4
* Video2: Dancing kids (blocked due to copyright of the 20 second song)

My partner Sarah and I just showed off our Robot Army in the Dark Room at MakerFaire 2015. We used QLC+ to control 84 delta robots.

We created a custom QLC fixture for our robot which controlled the three axis and RGB color. Our 84 robots (at six channels each) just barely fit into one Universe.

Our robots are custom built from 3D printed parts. The 'brain' PCB board inside each robot is an Arduino compatible custom PCB that we hand assembled.

The DMX hardware is all custom as well. We use the FTDI RS-485 dongle modified to a Cat5 connector. Our robots are arranged in 12 palettes of seven each. Each palette has a custom PCB with cat5 connectors on it. Each palette is daisy chained to the next. Inside each palette, we repeat the DMX signal to a shorter length DMX run that connects all the robots together. Our set-up and teardown are pretty simple as a result. Using Cat5 also kept our cabling costs down.

Here's a video of me describing the DMX infrastructure:


Sarah was new to QLC and had less than a week to learn how to do lighting design with QLC. In only a couple days, she had the robots doing some amazing things! QLC looked daunting to learn at first, but Massimo's YouTube tutorials got us quickly making new content for our installation!

Check out the technical article Sarah posted to Hackaday (includes videos): http://hackaday.com/2015/06/02/my-robot ... ker-faire/

Awesome software!

It expands my heart to see how QLC+ is helping people to be creative and to give life to their projects.
Thank you very much Sarah and Mark for sharing this.
I'd have a whole bunch of questions to ask, but I guess you guys are busy in showing your work around, so for now I'll keep them for myself :)
(one above all if you'd like to go into the QLC+ website use cases)

As a personal taste, it would super cool if all those green rubber bands attached to the LEDs were made of plastic fiber, so they could transmit the LED color along the arms (legs? ;)) !

Great job indeed ! And great patience in soldering all that stuff ! :)

P.S. I hope visitors noticed QLC+ and more projects like this could come in the future !

Hi guys,

thanks to QLC+ I can control from the stage light and video and play music of the show at the same time. I use latest QLC+ with qt5 on manjaro linux 64 with an APC mini midi controller, an Enttec opendmx usb, and a logitech webcam.

Here's Macbeth experience :
