Windows
The driver includes files for USB and the library uDMX.dll. The USB-files are always used, uDMX.dll is used depending on the lighting software.
As driver installation became more problematic with each newer Windows-version there are several uDMX-drivers that can be installed / tried.
- libusbK: all tested programs worked fine. Try this driver first. DOWNLOAD
- WinUSB: likely more compatile with Windows but not all software worked. uDMXArtnetP5 worked fine, uDMXArtnet did not work. DOWNLOAD
- libusb: the old driver. Not the best solution for Windows 10. DOWNLOAD
INSTALLATION
- Download at least one of the listed drivers
- Uncompress the file whereever you want and then plugin the hardware.
- The operating system will search for a driver.
- Select the file uDMX.inf in the selected directory (of your uncompression)
- After several seconds the driver should be installed. On newer Windows-versions you have to accept that the driver is not digitally signed. If you got problems, please read the FAQ.
- ATTENTION: At this time the file uDMX.dll has to be MANUALLY copied to the directory <Windows>\System32 !
Screenshot: installed uDMX-libusbK-driver on Windows10-64Bit and running artnet-programs.
CONFIGURATION
You can change the following values. Times can only be changed when you use uDMX firmware >= 1.4.
- Number of Channels: can be changed from the default of 512 to a lower value.
- Maximal Bytes to transfer: all tested windows programs only support 1 Byte at a time. Anyhow you should test the value 512 and only reduce the value if you experience problems.
- Break (Reset): Reset time before sending the first DMX value (default 88µs)
- Mark: Time between Reset and startbyte (default 8µs)
- Gap: time between the DMX values (default 0µs). Has to be changed for some devices like Eurolite TS-5, Laserworld EL200RGY … Set value to 20 for those devices.
START CONFIGURATION
If your DMX software does not support starting uDMX configuration, you can call the configuration using the script uDMXConfigure.bat (included in the driver files).
Testing uDMX
To test the uDMX interface, you can start a simple test-dialog from within the configuration dialog.
With the sliders it is possible to set the values of channels 1-6. The values of these channels are sent to the interface.
LINUX
When using Linux you have to install libusb. Normally programs have to be run as root to get access to usb-devices. To avoid this, create a file z65-anyma-udmx.rules in folder /etc/udev/rules.d with the following content:
SUBSYSTEM==»usb*», ACTION==»add|change», ATTRS{idVendor}==»16c0″, ATTRS{idProduct}==»05dc», MODE=»0666″
SUBSYSTEM==»usb*», ACTION==»add|change», SYSFS{idVendor}==»16c0″, SYSFS{idProduct}==»05dc», MODE=»0666″
MacOSX
probably like Linux

I just posted this .. it will work have a issue leave me a comment.
I bought the dmx for 19.00 on ebay. It came with a small disk with a udmx driver. I couldnt get it to load . I figured it out after about a hour of searching. The issue lie in the device signature , the driver was not recognized. In order to deal with this here is the solution. Go to the start menue in the lower bottem then press and hold down the shift key while clicking on the restart button. the computer will open a blue screen with , continue , trouble shoot, or turn off pc.press trouble shoot. then press advanced options. now 6 options will show up.press start settings . then restart. The computer will reload and then it will ask you to press a button to continue . Here is where you press f7 or the 7 key. the computer will reset. now once this happens you wait to have it load as normal. once windows is open you can go to the go to the device manager. now plug in the udmx. the udmx will appear but has a issue . now click on the udmx and go to the driver section and select from the location like hard drive or file you put on the desk top. now it will ask you if you want to open this even tho the driver is not signed. the answer is yes . It will now load. once it loads it will come up as udmx in the driver section. now open freestyler and use the udmx as a 512 and your ready to work.
hope this helps someone else as the video from the company and youtube didnt help..
respect… Dj Stretch from Canada

After spending the last 5 days trying to get uDMX to work on a new laptop, I finally figured it out. When I installed on my desktop a year ago, I did the changes that allow unsigned drivers to be installed, did not want to do that this time. Tried the Zadig install, it did not work with libusbk or Winusb. Zadig installed but uDMX would not work with QLC+ nor Freestyler. Finally looked in the uDMX driver folder and found a little exe called InstallDriver.exe. Ran that and it installed and uDMX now works. Note that as per ilLUTZmination.de I manually copied uDMX.dll to <Windows>System32 directory. I did this while trying the other installation procedures so not sure it is necessary but it can’t hurt anything.

Hey all!
Long time lurker. First time poster.
I’ve gone and got myself the same eBay £19 usb DMX adaptor and successfully installed it. Got freestyler set up and running the lighting BUT (isn’t there always a but..) I find the usb keeps stopping, windows makes the whole unplugged / plugged in usb noise and the lights stop responding.
It only happens when I try to manually pan/tilt or use the automatic shapes in the X/Y windows (such as 8 or flower)
Now I know it’s not the physical laptop, apart from the fact it’s brand new and other usb plugs work, I wondered if the driver could be at fault? It’s seemingly some generic uDMX driver or could it be the actual USB DMX that’s just naff?

Downloads
Contributions
Below are contributions by some uDMX makers/users. We couldn’t test everything – your feedback is welcome.
uDMX in action
We initially developed the udmx for hauert & reichmuth’s interactive installation TRiCKSTR.
What are you using your udmx for? Send us a link and we’ll make a gallery of udmx projects.
Software
There are three pieces of software:
- the uDMX firmware – running on the ATMega8
- a simple command line utility to set dimmer levels
- an external object for MAX/MSP that communicates directly with the uDMX interface
The command line utility is tested under MacOS X 10.4 and Linux, it should compile under Windows as well
Max/MSP binaries are MacOS X only
See the downloadable archive for the commented source code and binaries
To compile the firmware you’ll need avr-libc (see here how to do this on a macintosh)
To compile the Max external you’ll need the MAX/MSP Software Development Kit
and both the Max external and the commandline tool depend on libusb – open source usb library. For MacOS X, the guys over at www.ellert.se have made handy installer packages for libusb, browse their downloads for the most recent package: http://www.ellert.se/PKGS/
uDMX comes with a handy external object for Max/MSP to control dimmers or other DMX equipment directly from Max/MSP:
Hardware
uDMX is built around a ATMEL ATMega8 microcontroller, very few external parts are used, thanks to Objective Developments firmware only usb driver.
We went for the surface mounted version to keep it as small as possible. It’s a bit a pain to solder by hand, but feasible with lots of patience and not too many drinks the night before.
Very few pins are needed, but unfortunately smaller AVRs don’t have enough SRAM (we need 512 bytes already to buffer the DMX channels) so we have to use at least a Mega8…
The Mega8 is overclocked at 12Mhz, as needed by the usb driver. We power the RS485 transciever directly from the usb bus – it might be a better idea to put in a dc/dc converter and there should be some overvoltage protection.
Ben Suffolk shows how it could be done with his bus powered USB-DMX Interface
There is a 5pin XLR connector for the DMX and the cable of a dead mouse wired directly to the board for USB. D+ is connected to INT0 and is used by the usb-driver, D- on INT1 permits to check regularly if the usb bus is still alive, put the processor into powersave mode when its not, and wake it up again on any bus activity.
Version History
- uDMX 1.4 | 2010-02-09
available from the SVN repository - uDMX 1.2 | 2007-01-07
includes bootloader for easy future firmware upgrades. You can build one from scratch, or order a fully assembled unit online. - uDMX 1.0 | 2006-06-10
probably the smallest USB-DMX Interface in the world. Pretty tough to build… - 0.9.1 beta | 2006-02-16
is our first release. It is a lot easier to build but has some shortcomings…
Warning
Building and using uDMX is AT YOUR OWN RISK.
uDMX draws all its power from the host computer’s USB bus and the DMX and USB lines aren’t galvanically isolated. It may destroy your computer, or worse…
Use at your own risk or don’t use it at all!
