QLC+ 4.10.1 NanoDMX freeze [SOLVED]

[hutje]

Hello,

I use the raspberry pi 2 model B for the first time and when I choose the usb dmx output, it freezes.
When I try to add a generic rgb fixture, it freezes.

It happens every time i click something.

I hope this bug can be fixed...

1) are you sure the image you downloaded was not corrupted ?
2) which DMX USB adapter are you using ?

[hutje]

No the file was good now.

I use the DMX4ALL nano.
And the program sees it's the nano. But when I try to add, or ctrl alt backspace, it freezes...

[mcallegari]

That's not a normal behaviour.
What happens without the DMX adapter plugged in ? Still weird behaviour or everything is fine ?

[hutje]

Yes, when the usb cable is disconnected, I can add a fixture and enter the linux terminal

[mcallegari]

OK, I've just done a quick test with my nanoDMX and there is indeed an issue.
Apparently any other DMX USB adapter works fine

I'm going to understand what's going on and fix it.

Thank you!

[mcallegari]

I think I've already fixed it.
Do you know how to copy a file into the SD card Linux system ?

[hutje]

Yes

[mcallegari]

Copy the content of the ZIP file in

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/qlcplus/

and let me know if it works now

normally i can access my rpi from my pc with winscp, but since the rpi with qlc+ has a fixed ip with 192.168.0.252, I can't reach the rpi because our network has 192.168.1.X

I tried to connect with a ethernet cable direct to my pc, but then you get a ip adress 169.254.X.X and then the pc won't see the ip 192.168.0.252

I hope there is a way to edit the default ip for the raspberry...
In the guide you can get to the network configuration via remote control, but since I can't reach my rpi, I can't change the settings...

I was able to put the file in the boot-folder and with the terminal I am able to put it on the right place, but now I can't see the option dmx usb in the input/output menu. And the file is still -rwxr-xr-x, the same as the others....

since you are on windows; start+R (run), ncpa.cpl <enter> choose your network adapter, properties, choose IPv4, set address e.g. 192.168.0.250, accept, close everything.
when you are done, restore that dialog to previous settings.

[mcallegari]

Or when QLC+ starts on the RPi, hit CTRL+ALT+Backspace and then login.
Then type

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100

or whatever IP that you prefer

Then you can use ssh. You can also access it via web interface and configure it to retrieve an IP at boot via DHCP. Please refer to the user guide PDF

thanks for the tip. I have changed the fixed ip for rpi, now i can access it normally.

Now I still have the problem that I not have the usbdmx funtion in my in puts/outputs list...
I put the file on the right place, but now i can't use any usb dmx...

Thanks for the help though.

[mcallegari]

Ouch !
Probably because we have changed the plugins interface to support the USB hotplug and the binary doesn't match the "old" QLC+
I'll contact you via email and provide a full network upgrade package.

Thank You!
