Great article, adding an RS485 output to a pi pin is easy enough but how do you route the data to it. And can more universes be added to more pi pins easy enough. A next project on that subject would be awesome.
Nice Tutorial. But why using VNC etc... You can do all the Terminal stuff by Using Putty, (i'm using Linux so i SSH into my pi) If the Pi is used as ART-NET GateWay then it will run without an monitor ;-) And in future releases of Linux(Debian) Where the PI os is build on apt-get command is getting obsolete use apt for it ;-) for example : sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y Also the make command can be speed up by using multiple cores of the CPU make -j4 will use 4 cores so it does not take 1 hour but about 20 minutes ;-) Disabling the GUI so download the bare version in stead. Will speed up the build process also.
At this point in the video - 11:34, I received an error saying, checking for libprotobuf... yes checking for libprotobuf2... no configure: error: OLA currently requires protobuf < 3.2, see issue 1192 Any ideas how to fix? I went back and got the same... Help!!
Hi Rob, if you check the website link I’ve not too long ago posted an update. Due to changes within the operating system you can now use the single command (sudo apt-get install ola) that will install everything needed and includes the auto start. I would still follow the tutorial however for information on setting up DMX and also connecting through the browser. Any questions drop me a message
Hi, using Ola right now, connected 4 FTDI device, but with open dmx driver, adapter are recognized but no dmx output, using FTDI driver I can manage only 1 universe, any suggestion?thanks
DHL2002 Not necessarily, as long as OLA is set to auto run once the pi powers on its should all run automatically. Step 7 in the written tutorial would help you here
hi im hoping you will help me im installing ola to my rpi and when i follow your procedures is going fine but on the part of ./configure --enable-rmd-tests after that is always ask me the ola currently requires protobuf
Hi, I haven’t tested this but I believe in the new versions of rasbian you can just run “sudo apt-get install ola”. This should install it all automatically. There are written instructions on the link in the video :)

Thank you for your work!
Your dependencies command doesnt work anymore, I fixed it:
sudo apt-get install libcppunit-dev libcppunit-1.15.0 uuid-dev pkg-config libncurses5-dev libtool autoconf automake g++ libmicrohttpd-dev protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-lite23 python3-protobuf libprotobuf-dev libprotoc-dev zlib1g-dev bison flex make libftdi-dev libftdi1 libusb-1.0-0-dev liblo-dev libavahi-client-dev python3-numpy
excellent work ! much needed
can you do a tutorial on the GPIO plugin please for OLA
Thank You for help!!
Nice Tutorial.

And in future releases of Linux(Debian) Where the PI os is build on apt-get command is getting obsolete use apt for it ;-)
for example :
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

make -j4 will use 4 cores so it does not take 1 hour but about 20 minutes ;-)

In relation to this how can you convert a normal light to dmx?
would u have to connect to pi via vcn each time it gets turn on and off say if the pi was powered by the same distro your lights whre on?

i cannot find the usb output
Neither can I, there're only SPI, Art-net and E1.31, Im sure the USB button is clicked to active. Did you solve that problem mate
The link attached in the description is not working
Hi, seems to be working fine on my side. You can navigate directly to agfreelance.co.uk if you want and there’s a blog navigation button on there
Raspberry pi art-net media serwer ?
No go search "media server raspberry pi"
for the raspberry command install
sudo apt-get install automake libtool bison flex libcppunit-dev libprotobuf-dev libprotoc-dev protobuf-compiler protobuf-c-compiler uuid-dev libmicrohttpd-dev
