Q Light Controller+

hi everybody
is there a way to configure a GPIO line in such a manner that i can switch a led when QLC+ is operating (after booting time of appr. 10sec)
so the intention is to have a status LED which shows the correct operation of QLC+ because the is no other visual feedback like a display.
via virtual console? i am stuck...

Hi,

try to use GPIO plugin. Create scene that will set desired pin (or chaser if you want the LED to blink) and make that scene autostart ( in function manager).

Hi Jano,
Thank you for the quick answer.
the GPIO Plugin seems to present in the input / output tab.
Where else?
i mapped the Gpio output lines to universe 2 but cannot figure out to assign it to a scene or chase.

Most probably* you have to patch dimmer channels to GPIO universe. DMX channel 1 = GPIO0, etc.
Then you can build scenes from those channels.

*I don't use GPIO plugin myself.

thanks
i will figure out and give feedback

still figuring out on this..
is there a tutorial or an manual entry on this topic?

How far did you get? What is your exact problem? What did you try and what was the result? Can you attach your workspace?
(Note: I don't have raspi, so I can't comment first hand).

hi jan
on Uni 1 i have my show in autostart mode running
on Uni2 i have a simple Chase which points towards GPIO out pins
i am not clear how to get both running at the same start time
Uni 2 serves only as indicator for qlcplus is up and running..

If you set the Uni 2 chaser as start up function, does the GPIO work?

If yes, just create a Collection of the show & the chaser, and start the collection.

Yes everything is working as expected thank you Yan.
i can run the show on Uni 1 out on DMX and parallel Chaser on Uni 2 on the GPIO Line as a blink LED. -cool-

Great!
