Hello I am very interested in setting up a Pi with QLC.
But I have many open questions and a very specific hardware setup which I am not sure will work properly.
Is there a demo version of the Pi Image which could be limited in, let’s say the number of DMX channels that can be used(1-5 to see if it outputs at all via Artnet), but has otherwise the full functionality so that I could test it before buying?
I know that there are free versions for Windows etc, but I have GPIO inputs for example which needs to be tested on the PI.
Thank you for your work so far.

Hi, I think this has been asked a while ago.
The answer I'm afraid is no.
The effort to setup and maintain a demo version is not a goal of this project.
You can build QLC+ on the Raspberry Pi free of charge by following the instructions on GitHub.

Okay, understandable.
I would like to ask some more questions before buying the Raspiversion.
Is this a software that is installed on top at an OS or do I just install qlc?
Is the upgrade to Version 5 included or just V4?
Do I get a Pi specific image or are there versions for all pi boards inklusive?
Thank you for your help.

These are not authoritative answers, as I don't use the raspi image now. I checked the manual for the image.
Also check http://www.qlcplus.org/discover/raspberry-pi
Nevertheless:
and start raspi with no additional actions (except maybe editing some config file).
QLC+ deb package for arm is also provided.

The image is a complete customized install of Raspbian + QLC+. You burn it to SD card
and start raspi with no additional actions (except maybe editing some config file).
QLC+ deb package for arm is also provided.
Most probably V4 only. You get access to newer images as they are released.
