Q Light Controller+

Lost...Need help getting the interface recognized, I think. Mac 10.8.4, installed QLC+, which starts & runs (using MacPorts). I am using Arduino Uno w/ tinkernet Master DMX Shield, not recognized. Installed OLA(did I need to do this?), seemed to install correctly. olad returns:
KaratePlugin.cpp:77: Could not open /dev/kldmx0 No such file or directory
NetworkUtils.cpp:64: Could not convert address
KiNetPlugin.cpp:57: Invalid power supply IP address :
OpenDmxPlugin.cpp:78: Could not open /dev/dmx0 No such file or directory
StageProfiDevice.cpp:79: StageProfiPlugin: failed to connect to /dev/ttyUSB0
My Arduino/DMX port is /dev/tty.usbmodem2643131
To be honest, I am just stumbling around on this, no clear idea what is really needed... On the arduino side, I just have a basic DMX sketch, don't know what sketch I would actually need.. Any help greatly appreciated. (As a side note, my next task is getting this all to work on a Raspberry PI...)

Sounds like cool stuff !
However, if you need support on OLA, this is the wrong forum

All I can guess is that you need QLC+ (or OLA) to find a known device name. Ususally for FTDI chips it's /dev/ttyUSB0
You might wanna try to create a symlink to your Arduino /dev/tty.usbmodem2643131 even though I doubt it'll work.
Arduino maps /dev/ttyACM-like devices, as it were a USB modem. I think it might be different from a standard USB-serial port

I will try that. It is my understanding that the Uno does not use the FTDI chip, so...But i will try making a symlink (after I look that up:)Thanks And I'll check in on the OLA site.

Hi
I am a newbie of QLC+ and I have a slightly different shield for arduino (

I have Dave's problem too.
I am on binary installed QLC+ 4.8.2 / debian sid.
I have tried symlinking my /dev/ttyACM0 (which seems to be the Arduino one) to /dev/dmx1 with no success. I am quite sure it's not a QLC+ problem (I cannot connect with OLA either), but I report it just in case anyone has just found a solution for a similar case (maybe Dave has?), and to report back if I find a solution myself.
Many thanks for the fab work Massimo, really looking forward to integrate QLC+ more and more in my work!

Ok, maybe the problem is not on QLC+ not seeing the arduino + shield. In fact, the DMX USB plugin seems enabled, but it simply doesn't have any input or output available. It could be a problem with the arduino script, will let you know.
