About this app

Art-net controller is an Android App that simply sends DMX 512 packets through Wifi following the Artnet protocol / sACN E1.31 / RDM

This is just an App for testing/focussing purpose but also can be used to play a simply show if your main controller is broken or you forgot it ;-)

This application has been made by a lighting operator for lightings operators so you can expect some of the features on most popular lighting desks:

This app is a full-featured, cheap and convenient way to control lighting. I've been using it for a small band setup with wireless DMX. I had a serious problem with saved files getting corrupt and causing the app to crash when opening. I found a workaround, which involves deleting all the P*pb*.jcc files from the show archive. I've reached out to the developer, who was very responsive and promised to fix the issue. One thing that I would change though is make the file format open, or at least human-readable, which would add a lot of options for automation and batch editing.

Absolutely amazing app. It's unbelievable that an app made by one awesome lighting tech could be so complete and have so many features. I was blown away that it has an effect engine, and it works well. Fixture profiles galore! If you can't find a profile for you fixture no worries there are so many predefined generic rgb profiles and each one has modes with the channels in every order. It made it super easy to work with some generic led washes without the need to create a custom fixture.

I just can not believe how much I got for so little money. I would pay 10 times the price and it's still a bargain. For lighting engineers all the functionality is probably obvious. for a layman like me not so much but I figured out the most important bits. I guess for profesional use this just won't do because nobody would trust wifi. I would love to see this program available in windows with good documentation and tutorials. I'd pay $100 happily because of that midi interface.
