Hi, I have the latest RPI image (I tihnk 4.11.1- I made a dontation and this was the last link I was sent). I want to use the GPIO out, I have added it in my universe output and enabled the pins but I have no idea how to trigger them. Should I mae a fixture with them and just make sure it is within the addresses of the pins?

I need to control a few relays from this..

I would also like to control some servos, so before I connect an arduino to do this...

Also is the GPIO capable of PWM?

Or can I use the SPI interface to connect to a DAC for this? I see no options except for speed in the SPI output plugin.

I looked through the documentation and there does not seem to be any mention of how to use these plugins.

Otherwise it is wokring great.

Cheers

Fred

Yes. Each GPIO corresponds to a DMX channel

GPIO in general: yes. QLC+: no. Neither on SPI
