2. Install on raspberry pi QLC +
3. Connect DMX lamp
4. And control the light with QLC +

Possible problems.

1. I connect incorrectly
2. The controller does not work

Possible problems.

1. I connect incorrectly
2. The controller does not work
3. I do not use it correctly QLC+

4. Read the documentation in the PDF I sent. Bitwizard configuration is there.

Hi,
Is the PDF available online? Also having trouble with a BitWizard shield + Raspberry2.

The PDF is available to those who donated for the official QLC+ on the RPi image.
However the information you're looking for is public...if you search for it....
https://bitwizard.nl/wiki/Dmx_interface ... spberry_pi

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# set_dmx_mode
if [ $# -lt 1 ] ; then 
  echo 'on or off?'
  exit 1
fi

if [ ! -d /sys/class/gpio/gpio18 ] ; then 
   echo 18 > /sys/class/gpio/export
fi
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio18/direction
echo $1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio18/value

Good day.
I installed QLC on Rasspberry exactly as described in the manual.

Please watch my video
https://drive.google.com/file/d/112Lrqz ... sp=sharing

Everything starts

1. I created a little light scene.
2. Launched it through the web interface.
3. Saved the file as autostart on raspberry

After restarting, the controller turns on, the program turns on, and the light scene does not turn on.

Please tell me how to make the light scene turn on automatically.

You need to set also an "autostart function". Green flag icon in Function manager.
Discussed in these forums nearly a million times.

One of the micro USB cables you have connected is not necessary. The DMX board is powered from the pi. You can also power the pi through the DMX board by supplying power to the micro USB on the BitWizard interface. However, I don't think this is your main problem.

It seems to me that your light is not set to operate in DMX mode. Check the documentation for your lighting fixture and set the DMX address accordingly. Then make sure that the address for that fixture in QLC+ matches.
