Managing DMX 512 QLC lighting on RASPBERRY PI

So when you need to budget and adjust the light, managing remotely from a tablet or laptop. All that I write below is a purely budgetary solution, which will have to be a little tricky brainwashing. But the end result is worth it.

Rapberry pi QLC+ deb install

Thanks to Menshikov Ilya for the finished assembly. You can download the installation DEB file on the page qlc_raspberry_deb_by_menshikov Version: 4.12.7 2023

What you need

<note warning>Flash drive for RASPBERRY must be at least 6 class, and its minimum size is not lower than 4 GB of memory. Better Flash 10 class. I tried 6 classes on 8 GB, I did not start, raspberry is very capricious to flash drives</note>

Customizing Raspberry PI

We will configure and download everything on Windows 7 ( or on any other Windows, I configured it on 64bit )

Download

  1. OS RASPBIAN JESSIE QLC+(Ready my image with QLC+ RASPBIAN + XTE )

Установка RASPBIAN

Unzip RASPBIAN JESSIE WITH PIXEL (we should get a file with the extension .img) Install and open the program Win32diskimager, and first we will select a USB flash drive where we will write the system, after we select our unzipped file, and click the Write button ( write ) <note tip>In order to enable SSH access, we need to create a ssh or ssh.txt file in the root of the flash drive </note> After completing the recording on the flash card,  Go to it and create a file wpa_supplicant.conf ( This file is responsible for configuring the network ) In it we will see the following:

network={
ssid="YOUR_NETWORK_NAME"
psk="YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
}

Ssid = «YOUR_NETWORK_NAME» is the name of our WI-FI network ( YOUR_NETWORK_NAME change to your )
Psk = «YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD» - the password of our network ( YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD should change to your password )
Proto = RSN - to protect your network, it can be WPA1 or WPA2 (for WPA2, it uses RSN , and for WPA1 it's just WPA in most cases this parameter track not necessary).
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK - The parameter is responsible for encrypting the password, WPA-PSK (in most cases) or WPA-EAP (in corporate networks) ( parameter too tracking does not follow )
Pairwise = CCMP - for WPA2 leave CCMP , for WPA1 change to TKIP
Auth_alg = OPEN - leave it as it is.
<note tip>After setting up and connecting RASPBERRY PI at boot, the WI-FI whistle should light up. Check the connection of raspberries, you can in the settings of the router. </note>

Connect with SSH

When we learned the IP address of our raspberry, run PUTTY and connect to SSH And after a successful connection, the raspberry will ask for the login and password Default:
Login:pi
Password:dmx-512.ru

RDP Connection

To run the RDP client under Windows, run on your computer: 1. Press the menu « Start » (« Start ») → select the item « Run …»(«Run…») (или нажмите сочетание клавиш WIN+R): 2. In the window that appears, type mstsc.exe and click « OK »: 3. Enter IP address RASPBERRY in the field « Computer » and press the button « Connect »: 4. If the « can not be authenticated » window appears, check the box « no longer display the query » and press the « Yes » button:
