Kinect + Art-Net+fiesta.net + Laser?

Subtiv's picture

Hi all,

I'm trying to achieve something which might be impossible, anyway here it goes:

I want to control a laser through a fiesta.net device. Has anyone an idea if this might be possible using the Art-Net plug in?

In the end the goal is to beam an osceleton-drivven font, so i'll be able to send kine(c)tic texts. (the font is made-up from openGl lines and points)

Any ideas?

Lasers are controlled by ILDA protocol. Fiesta.net is a proprietary protocol used to convert signals to ILDA, from what is read. Fiesta.net is also the name of their software, running on windows. Fiesta is different from Artnet, I assume.

You would need to send Artnet signal to a Artnet-DMX box, connected to your Fiesta.net box, connected to your laser. As far as I recall, you can only send scene changes via DMX to a laser, not control the beam directly.

I guess you'll have to test by yourself.
