I cannot figure out how I can make QLightControl send commands to a USB port.
I see nowhere that I can select USB as the output device.
I am using a usb/485 converter to communicate with the DMX lights.

Anyone can help me ?

NO !

QLC+ uses 'certified' DMX interfaces
the interface changes USB device instructions to have the interface send out RS 485 signal trains respecting required DMX timing.

You cannot use a (native) RS485 device to send signals to DMX fixtures.

Ok, where can I find the list of certified USB interfaces. A google search for "QLC+ 'certified' DMX interfaces" dopes not yield anything.
Anyone has a link to interfaces.
