** Depending on unit configuration.

tip
  • For YoctoBUS blocks: the default exchange protocol type is YoctoBUS, initial configuration is not required.
  • For YoctoLAN units: when connecting to the network via Ethernet, initial configuration is not required, when connected via WiFi, you must set the SSID and Password using the CONNECT Configurator software.
note

To integrate the unit into third-party systems, the protocol and RS485 exchange rate, as well as network settings, are set through the free, cross-platform CONNECT Configurator software.

The block is controlled by next APIs:


note

It is recommended to configure the RS485 parameters using the CONNECT Configurator software

YoctoBUS mode

info

YoctoBUS protocol commands are in text form.

  • Setting new value to DMX address:
I_aaa_setDMX_1_ddd_vvv
  • Read value from the DMX address:
I_aaa_stateDMX_1_ddd

aaa - bus block address

ddd - DMX controlled device address

vvv - value (brightness) from 0 to 255
