[RELEASE] DFAtmo the driver for Atmolight controllers

would this work with an arduino? this setup to be exact. http://fun3md.blogspot.com/2009/12/overv...setup.html

Well i never tested this hardware. But it seems to be using the "classic" protocol over serial port.
If my assumption is correct it should work with the serial output driver out of the box.

Today the RenderCapture patch has find its way into the main xbmc development trunk
These guys here from team xbmc are really working quick!

This means DFAtmo now works against a recent xbmc version from main developement trunk.

Do you have a description of the df10ch protocol so I can add it to boblight?

Wow! Amazing! Works on Win 7 with "Use true fullscreen..." option and Aero enabled? Anyone was tested?

Thanks!

DFAtmo captured the video directly from the video renderer of XBMC. As a
consequence of this only the content of the currently played video is analyzed.
No OSD, no XBMC Dialogs and no Windows from other Programs or Desktop content are included.
And it does not matter if the video is played fullscreen or Areo is enabled.

For adding DF10CH to boblight i recommend using the output driver of DFAtmo.
The DF10CH comes with a nice graphical setup program that makes configuring one or more controllers to your light hardware very easy.
The controllers store this configuration in eeprom and the output driver rely on this configuration data.

I have added a example file "df10chskeleton.c" how to program against the output driver interface.
From the DFAtmo project you need the files "df10choutputdriver.c", "dfatmo.h" and "df10ch_usb_proto.h".
If you want to load the driver dynamically at runtime like DFAtmo does have a look into "atmodriver.h" for load/unload functions.

Great news!!

I have a momolight, same as atmolight, but built with a PIC controller instead of an Atmel one.

Does this plugin work with it? Boblight does, but using the proper configuration file.

Thanks!!

I never tested this hardware. If it is connected through a serial port you may have a good chance that it works with the serial output driver of DFAtmo.
You need some description of the protocol on the serial port that is used by your device.
The protocol that the DFAtmo serial output driver used could be configured with the "driver_parm" parameter. Have a look into the README how this works.

I'll try it.
It uses serial port (well, a USB to serial port converter), and as I said boblight works with it with no problems.

I will tell you if i'm succesful.
