Cost Effective Alternative to Control Lighting Systems Using DMX 512

Almost all lighting systems use the DMX512 protocol to simplify the use of multiple lights, but DMX control consoles are often quite expensive. We sought to create a more inexpensive DMX control console through the use of the Arduino microcontroller and the Danger Shield, a source of inputs. Using these, we successfully created a lighting system that could execute functions like color chase, color cycle, strobe, dim, and blackout. By comparing this system’s functions and monetary value with other DMX control consoles on the market, we concluded that our lighting system was a suitable substitute for higher end products given its programmable versatility.
