I am looking for a way to control 3 lights (red, green and blue) with Pd. I first thought of using variable resistances with the spots, but then I thought a digital lighting console could do the job better and easier.
Did someone have a succesful experience with this ? Is it the best way to do it ? If not, what else should I use. And if so, do I need an external or an other software to control the console ?
Salut Alexandre!
I did control a few incandescent dimmers with PD. Go to http://www.velleman.be/ search for k8000 (the control board) and k8003 (for the dimmers). These are electronic kits, but are easy (and fun) to build.
To control the board from PD, I programmed my own external, using this library: http://home.wanadoo.nl/hihihi/libk8000.htm
Maybe it's time for a short demo in Montréal. All this cool stuff has been collecting dust for 2 years...
There's also many other ways to do the same.
