Hi,
i am running qlc+ on raspberry pi. my raspberry pi controls a rgb matrix by command lines to show an image.
also an ENTTEC DMX USB PRO is plugged in the raspberry. Is it possible to receive dmx values via the input of the ENTTEC from my external dmx controller to start the command lines on the raspberry?
I would like to switch images on the rgb matrix via dmx.
thanks for your help.

First you have to change the way your EntTec is setup... channel 2 has to be altered to input. (There is a tool for this)
Then you can use channel 2 from the EntTec as input in QLC+

I selected already channel 1 and i can see the received values in qlc. is there a function, if for example channel 1 have value 10, then open a system command?

only at value 10? And you don't want to use any other values in this channel?
input bound to a slider in VC; level control to a channel in a Loopback universe, on that channel (in loopback) Channel modifiers 0-9=0, 10=255, 11-255=0.
Then this loopback channel as an input to a VC button and your system command bound to that.

Know that once your start using DMX inputs; you will have to create your own logic from base up...

[edit] Or use an input profile on that input universe (not tested by me ... only a pointer where to look for?)
