Martin USB-DMX

Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm a novice user.
At our village Hall we have(had) a PC driving some DMX fixtures via Martin Lightjockey and a Martin USB-DMX interface. We have not used the software much as it seemed complex to set up and was tied to the PC, which meant sitting in the hall. However the PC seems to a died.
A while ago I was looking for alternative software and found QLC+, which attracted me as I'm a Mac user with a Raspberry Pi too.
So much for the background.
My question is 'Can I control the lights via the Martin USB-DMX device from QLC+?' If the answer is yes, at least I'll be happy to experiment rather than stumbling in the dark.

Short answer: no.
Those kind of devices use proprietary protocols bound to a specific controller. In your case Lightjockey.
I suggest you purchase a device listed in this page: https://www.qlcplus.org/features.html

Thanks for the quick reply. it confirmed my suspicion since I couldn't see Martin devices listed in the plug-ins.
