A custom web-app allowing users to easily select key parts of the logo and choose colors from a color picker. The software then provides a hardware agnostic API to write data to any standard DMX node (via ART-NET) or any CueServer (via binarybuffer).
Locally here, we’re using a CueServer2 Mini to act as the server and controller for the sign. It’s connected to our network on an IoT VLAN then receives data via ART-NET or http and transmits it’s over RJ45/CAT6 to the DMX RGB controllers.
The DMX dimmer for the lights is a Bitro controller, which determines how much voltage is delivered to each color of RGB light. It appears to be identical (minus logo) to this one on Amazon:
The CueServer sends DMX (over a CAT6 cable) to the individual DMX receivers on the roof, which are individually addressed to each LED set in the letters.
Each address in the three channel range (1-3) is the Red, Green, Blue channels respectively.
