Enttec USB DMX Pro fail to configure with OLA

[Oly]

Hi,

I'm working on an artistic project based on changing light effects with some DMX LED projector so I've bought an Enttec USB DMX Pro (http://www.enttec.com/?main_menu=Products&pn=70304).

Now I'm trying to setup the dmx interface with the Open Light Architecture projcet : https://www.openlighting.org/ but without success.

I've compiled ola-git from aur and installed optional dependencies.
When I plug the enttec dmx interface it appears on /dev/ttyUSB0, so I think it's not a udev problem. But when I start ola daemon :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'olad -l 4') no enttec usb dmx is recognized.

I've this :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

ola_dev_info command dosen't show me any enttec dmx interface ...
I've searched on the web but there no real documentation on how to setup manually a dmx interface.

Any help is appreciated.


Thank you.

Have you also posted this to the OLA forum/mailing list/etc?

Is this in relation to an ARM board? If so, have you tried this on a different board, or an x86 pc?

Hi,

I've already succeed to get a DMX interface working with my laptop (Archlinux x64) so I think it's a archlinux arm problem, or at least a difference.
I've tried lots of things this morning as compile FTDI2XX driver but it's just a library not a kernel driver, so it wasn't helpful.

Finally I've done this :
* add udev rule in a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules (based on this post : http://opendmx.net/index.php/OLA_Device_Specific_Configuration)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", GROUP="uucp"')
* add alarm (or any not root user) to uucp :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#usermod -aG uucp alarm')

Now it works !
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'olad/PluginManager.cpp:195: Trying to start Serial USB

Sorry for the self-answered question, I hope that can be helpful for someone.
