Controllers

Intro

There are many different types of controllers used for RGB lighting effects. The most common fall into two different categories:

• Pixel Controllers
• Dumb RGB Controllers.
  

The different controllers also can be broken into categories based on the type of data communications protocols used to speak to them from the sequencing computer. The main categories of communications protocols are:

• Renard (using either RS232-serial or RS485)
• E1.31 (DMX over Ethernet)
• DMX A traditional stage lighting protocol
• Programs stored on SD memory cards
• Lightorama LOR compatable gear

When choosing a Pixel controller it is important that you confirm that your selection is compatible with you system design. Critical properties to consider include are:

• Communications Protocol (E1.31, Renard, DMX, LOR, Etc.)
• Pixel Voltage (5VDC vs 12VDC)
• Pixel Type (WS2801, WS2811, GECE, LOR, Etc.)
• Number of Pixels to be Controlled
• Number of Connectors and Number of Strings that can be Physically Connected
• Advanced Features
  • Grouping (ability to treat multiple Pixels as one)
  • RGB Ordering (ability to correct the physical RGB order to match the software sequence order)
  • ZigZag (Ability to treat physical strings as multiple logical strings)
  • Reverse order (ability to reorder the channels on a string so the most distant one is the first channel)
  • Etc.

Generally you also need to add an Enclosure to the Pixel Controller to protect it from the weather. You will also need a Power Supply to power the Pixel Controller and Pixels. There are several ways to connect the Power wiring and there are also several types of Pixel Connectors that can be used to simplify the wiring.

PIXEL CONTROLLERS

ESP-01 Based Pixel Controllers

ESPixel Stick & ESPixel Pops

The ESPixel Stick was developed by DIYC member Bill Porter aka... madsci1016. It took advantage of the amazing ESP-01 microcontroller which combines a full micro controller with a built in wifi interface all on a small form factor board with an incredibly low price. (~$2). The ESP-01 when combined with a circuit board with a small number of components creates a full function wireless pixel controller for about $10 that can control 4 universes or nearly 700 pixels. There are several variations of these controllers which are generally referred to as Pixel Sticks.

Renard Protocol (RS232 or RS485)to SPI (Pixel Communication)

Renard PX1 Pixel Controller

The Renard PX1 was designed by Phil Short as an inexpensive Pixel controller designed to work with standard Renard systems. It can be daisy chained with other Renard controllers. The PX1 provides a low cost solution that allows a user to add pixels to an existing display setup using just a simple Renard setup.

E1.31 (Ethernet) to SPI (Pixel Communications)

These interfaces accept an E1.31 (Ethernet) input and typically drive one or more pixel strings.

Open Lighting Architecture

(Global, developed by the Open Lighting Project team )

OLA can be used on a Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone Black or other single board computers with SPI. It can receive E1.31 (and many other protocols) and use the data to drive SPI pixels. See https://wiki.openlighting.org/index.php/OLA_LED_Pixels for more information. The maximum pixel count is determined by the hardware and the pixel clock speed. Demo Video.

• TP3244 Pixel Driver 4 SPI (2801 / 6803) outputs

The Tiger Protocol Bridge (TigerPB) TP3212 is a small controller for use with RGB LED lights and LED strips that utilise driver chips like the 6803/2801/3005. These are the currently targeted protocols and it is possible that other 2-wire and single wire protocols could be supported with firmware upgrades. This will provide future proofing of your controller.

The initial release will accept a standard DMX512A data stream and provide control for 170 RGB Pixels (510ch). There will be dual buffered outputs that will allow you to split the 170 pixels into say 100/70 and run them in different directions and yet control them as a single 170 pixel string. Each dual buffered output will also allow for the parallel connection of the same number of pixels allowing for two strings to be used with the same patterns. If these are run in opposite directions they would provide for mirrored effects. Each of the Dual outputs will be able to drive different protocols if required.

If ran with ECG product line from http://www.j1sys.com you can use hyper-DMX and this controller can be expanded to running 4 Universe's off each controller.

More info to Follow and at this point this controller is no longer sold. It has been talked about coming back out. As the information comes in it will be updated. If you can get one used, they are still very nice units and work well.
