LIXADA USB-DMX512 adapter, how to use in Freestyler

Post by GiovanniG »

Hi, I've tried this device, it's recoglized by Win10 64, retrieved as COM port, I've tried different deviced on Freestyler specifying the right COM number but can't make it work, I've tried to change the COM port number as well as the speed, but didn't help.
What is the device to choose in Freestyler? Which is the speed to set the port? Thank you for advices

thank you, this man has created a video for beginners, but he forgot to link a place where we can download this driver. I've tried to find it myself but no success.
Also, the driver it refers has a serious problem with signature, maybe in 2025 can we find a driver with signature? Thanks

Are you sure it doesn't use the 'open' driver?

An open source driver from Enttec?

Search for Enttec Open DMX driver I think it's Carl ftdi or something

Hi mate, thank you for your kind reply, I've solved the problem.
I did it some days ago, searching driver, searching Enttec Open DMX I jumped on this page, somehow:
https://ftdichip.com/drivers/d2xx-drivers/
There I've downloaded driver CDM v2.12.36.4 WHQL Certified, updated the USB drivers with those, started Freestyler and selected Enttec Open DMX, I don't remember if I needed then to restart Freestyler, but it worked.

So in my opinion LIXADA USB-DMX512 adapter is the cheapest ready-to-connect interface available for Freestyler :)
