Besides
standard illumination, a peculiar application in the lighting world is
related to the control of lights in theatres, lighting stages e.g.
during music concerts.
The used lamps are motorized and a protocol called DMX512 is adopted to remotely control them.
It allows setting the light intensity, light color and lamp rotation
and it is based on wired communication systems (twisted pairs + RS485
as PHY).
The STEVAL-ILL030V1 makes the DMX512 communication available on STM32 microcontrollers
in a simple demonstrator that can be configured as transceiver,
receiver or even in stand-alone mode as it embeds also 3 power LED
directly driven.
The SW for STM32 is here but is only for SILICA and STM customers.
