It can also do artnet. The program is meant to be used with vvvv but all you need to do is take a 512byte DMX packet, slap a UDP header on it and blast the packets at the ip of the machine running littlecat. DMX packet is really simple. The offset of the byte is your channel number, and the byte is the 0-255 value that you are sending to a channel. It's really that simple. You have to register to download. Email me if you need a copy. On windows, use littlecat:

While yes, there is performance lighting software which could likely be taught how to do this exact thing, this was a great exercise to allow him to learn a bunch of stuff. Frequently, it's the journey not the destination which matters. Alexei,

Open DMX USB was invented by www.enttech.com as a fully opensource dongle - it's schematic is available freely and most part and it has a simple FTDI chipset and it has a Windows driver here: http://www.enttec.com/index.php?main_menu=downloads&pn=70303&show=downloads&name=opendmxusb and also example of C++ program to use that driver. Also OpenDMX USB is well-supported by few open-source cross-platform programs like FreeStyler http://users.telenet.be/freestylerdmx/ or some proprietary programs like Sunlite older versions http://www.nicolaudie.com or MagicQ http://www.chamsys.co.uk Why did you need all that complication with that linux and virtual machine stuff if you are Windows user?
