i control dmx light
first i try to control dmx light by touchdesginer artnet
but not working so i try to control dmx light by madmapper
why doesn’t work touchdesigner
equal setting and same computer
but working in madmapper
help me…
In TouchDesigner, change the Network Address to 255.255.255.255
255.0.0.0 is not a valid IP address. 255.255.255.255 is the broadcast address that sends to every IP address on your network. You should probably read up on IP addressing more since understanding it is very vital to doing DMX stuff these days.
already i did… but not working
Based on the screenshot, it looks like you are running madmapper and TD at the same time.
If that’s the case try quitting both programs and launch TD only

Also check to make sure your Windows Firewall is not blocking TouchDesigner (it may already be letting MadMapper through.
And make sure the last null TOP is set to “cook always” instead of “automatically” since many LED controllers will go dark if they are not receiving ArtNet packets regularly.

I took it like this to upload a screenshot at once.
Of course, I know that crashes happen, so I turned it on separately, but it still doesn’t work with Touch Designer.
I also checked all windows firewall and tested various network addresses, but it works only with Madmapper
What “dmx light” are you trying to control specifically?
Also if you can post that TouchDesigner file you are using, just to double check all of your settings since it looks like a pretty simple file.
Considering how simple that TD file looks, I still think it’s networking issues. I’ve helped troubleshoot a lot of these “light works with X but not TouchDesigner” issues and it almost always stems from a lack of IPv4 network understanding.
dmx working in madmapper madmapper setting is equal touchdesinger
it is window defender setting
MadMapper setting is not equal to TouchDesigner. 192.168.0.59 is not equal to 169.254.82.56
i know
because active button off is madmapper testing
sorry uploaded wrong picture
i tested 192.168.0.59 255.255.255.255
“Network Address” in your second DMXout CHOP is still not correct (255.255.0.0), though it is correct in your first DMX out CHOP (255.255.255.255)
Also, if you have more than one network adapter on your computer and MadMapper is sending out via the network Adapter that has IP address of 192.168.0.59 while TD is trying to send out of another adapter that has the 169.254.82.56 IP address, then that means the programs are trying to send data out of two different network adapters. Even with broadcast (255.255.255.255) you still need to tell TD which network adapter to broadcast out of. Change the “Local Address” parameter in TD to match the IP address that your computer has for the correct network adapter, then TD will broadcast out of that adapter.
Based on the screenshot of MadMapper, that should probably be 192.168.0.59, but also an IP address that starts with 169.254 means the adapter has DHCP enabled but couldn’t find a DHCP server, whereas the “192.168” means that the network adapter was given an IP address either by a router or you assigned a static IP.
If these are the same adapter, either these screenshots are from two different times, or something else weird is going on, since the IP is different in MadMapper than in your CMD screenshot. Also try turning off the Windows Defender firewall entirely (temporarily) as sometimes it still blocks UDP packets regardless of if TD is in the “allow” list or not. Also you can’t be sure that the TouchDesigner executable listed in that Windows Defender screen is in fact the same executable that DMX is trying to be sent out of, especially if you have more than one version of TD installed.
that reason is when i receive data in madmpper
so madmapper dmx out is another ip setting because otherwise there will be a collision
I confuse the images so you must have been confused I’m sorry for that part
and already i test all of them
I’ve used dmx out a lot, and it seems to have confused you with the images I took while debugging.
And I still don’t understand what the problem is
I tried downloading Touch Designer again.
That last picture second to last picture looks correct, now try it with all of your firewalls off.
Also, what DMX light is this exactly? I hope it’s not the GarageCube LED bar stuff because as far as I know that comes with a USB to DMX adapter that is proprietary to MadMapper (since GarageCube makes both) and USB would never work with ArtNet, whereas I believe MadMapper will automatically detect that USB to DMX device and send data to it regardless of the ArtNet settings in MadMapper…
