How to make this USB DMX device work, drivers, etc

[fa2k]

Hi,

I have got to borrow some lighting fixtures, and also have a USB DMX device. The USB device appears to be this one: http://www.amazon.com/Sunwin-Dmx512-Int ... B00A0F907E , but I don't have any drivers. The vendor ID is 03EB:8888. According to the Amazon page, it should work with libusb-win32 drivers. I've installed them, and it shows up as "D512" under "libusb-win32 devices" in device manager.

Are any more drivers needed, or does Freestyler talk to the libusb API?

If it's supposed to work like this, which interface option should be selected in the Freestyler setup dialog (USB-DMX, uDMX, .., most are checked and don't work right away). By not working, I mean that the lights don't respond. The USB-DMX option gives an error message, uDMX does not, many others requires a COM port, which the USB dvice doesn't have.

Hope someone can help

Thanks,
Marius

[The comments on Amazon say that this is a quite bad interface, but the goal is only to get some lights on and experiment a little, so I think it will be sufficient]

Hey
If it's a COM port it needs you need to count from left to right your USB sockets and then put it in the correct one. For example COM port 3 would be USB socket 3 (counting from left to right on your laptop/PC, see if that makes a difference to getting it working?

Hi, thanks for the reply! There is no com port that appears in device manager. I tried some of the interface types with a com port setting, with the USB port number as the com port, but it didn't work. Anyway, it's probably time to give up on this one, unless i can find an ISO of the driver CD.

It worked much better than expected and we're having a lot of fun

I have used these with FS. What version of FSDMX are you running with this?

I recommend below ArtNet to DMX interface and give up the uDMX.
