ESP32-S3-Based DMX512 Smart Lighting Controller

The EDGE102-DMX512 controller represents advanced lighting management for stages and theaters using DMX512 protocol. It supports multiple interfaces like RS485, I2C, and UART, making it seamless to connect with sensors and devices. Compatible with Arduino and ESP32, it integrates smoothly into custom projects.

This controller excels with programmable, sensor-based automation, surpassing traditional console-operated systems. With capability for automated control through sensors like infrared and laser, lighting can respond dynamically to environmental factors. It features 8 optically isolated industrial switch inputs, maximizing compatibility with PNP sensors, optimizing performance, and reducing the need for manual intervention in large-scale environments.

Its stability and wireless control come from a dual-core architecture with the ESP32-S3 and a dedicated DMX512 chip. The ESP32-S3 core’s WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities support remote control and programming over wireless networks. This setup simplifies programming complex lighting systems, allowing easy communication with peripherals, with wireless programming through Arduino enhancing user flexibility.

The controller’s peripheral support and integration flexibility are key strengths. With RS485, I2C, and UART ports alongside GPIO pins, it connects with diverse sensors, actuators, and devices for customized lighting effects. The RS485 port offers both master and slave modes for versatile communication, while I2C and UART ensure compatibility with open-source hardware, making it suitable for anything from intimate stages to grand public venues.
