Q Light Controller+

Hi Massimo,
first of all I wanna say THANK YOU!!! for this nice software you created. We really love it.
We wanna use QLC in for our Lightsetup in our church.
Our idea is to have some important functions on physical sliders on a DMX Controller. We're using a Enttec USB DMX Pro mk2. On Windows its working really fine. But the problem is: Mac. Its not working on Mac. I don't get any DMX input in qlc. What am i doint wrong? I use the same settings like on windows and on Windows it works.
I can see DMX Signal coming in in the Enttec Pro Manager.

Hope you can help me
Sascha

I don't know if this will help you but i just went through the process of making my MK2 work with my Mac. I had to open up the Terminal and enter a bunch of code. This isn't my first language so I had to do some tutorials to understand what I was doing. I entered it into a word doc I can share with you and I also pasted the info below. I hope it helps.

Download

• QLCPLUS
http://www.qlcplus.org/downloads.html
• Pro Manager
https://www.enttec.com/us/products/cont ... o-manager/

• Follow exact directions from this video

This video posted above has a lot of commands that can be hard to read. I’ve copied the info below.

cd /usr/local/lib
if that folder doesn’t exit you can create it
sudo mkdir –p /usr/local/lib

then navigate to it
cd /usr/local/lib/
you’ll notice that your terminal prompt now has :lib before the command line

Copy library file into this folder by pasting this:
Sudo cp ~/Desktop/D2XX/libftd2xx.1.4.4.dylib . (<< that dot at the end is necessary)

Then paste this:
Sudo ln –sf libftd2xx.1.4.4.dylib libftd2xx.dylib

Next is building samples
cd ~/Desktop/D2xx/Samples/

Then paste:
make

Connect your Enntec DMXUSB Pro MK2 to your computer using a usb cord
Navigate over to your apple in the upper top corner of your screen and click About this Mac and then click System Report. Scroll down to find your USB hardware and click on it. You should see the Enntec hardware listed.

Back to the Terminal window

Paste:
sudo kextunload –b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI


then paste:
sudo EEPROM/read/read

if you’re running Mac 10.11 OS or higher install the D2xx Helper

Just follow directions on that installer

Once that’s all in open your Pro Manager. Make sure your Enntec device is still plugged in. It will open in a browser window. Pick the device and it should load. You can test it by clicking on Send DMX and in the drop down menu pick Faders.

The lights (that you would have hooked up) should flash

I’ve found the only way to close the Pro Manager is to go into the activity monitor on your Mac and force close.

Now you can install QLCPlus

Hey there thanks for the instructions, however do you have the updated version? for D@XX1.4.16? thanks
