are there any DMX connections for programming languages?after seeing the weirdness that is cargo-mommy and the fact that it has buttplug.io integration, I'm wondering if anyone has developed a way to have their compiler control smoke machines and spot lights.

(I did once have a job ask me about the feasibility of setting off confetti cannons when we hit "publish" on a new work)

@foone Friend wanted a CNC engraver that he could send Hugo results to, where it would engrave the plaques and cover the names with tape.

@foone last time I got a DMX controller involve with a programming project (a game) the network connection would mysteriously drop when a player took damage... Somehow it took me two days to figure out it was because the external lightning effects were BROWNING OUT THE ROUTER

@foone a roundabout way to do this might be this ESPHome component https://github.com/andyboeh/esphome-dmx512Hit the HTTP API whenever you want.

@foone I think it's in the "So basic it doesn't need one" category. If you look at Art-Net, which is basically DMX over IP, the packets are literally the string "Art-Net", 10 more bytes of header data, then sequentially the value of each DMX address, sequentially. Then an art-net -> DMX converter box essentially just reads the packet and sends the values sequentially as received over the line.There's no handshake, state or anything. It's that plain.So yeah, it's absolutely stupid-easy to control just about anything DMX from anything, even if it's not meant to.Or there's also serial/usb DMX adapters where you basically just write 512 bytes and repeat.

@luana yeah, but cargo-mommy integrates with it.

correction: there's no cargo-mommy/buttplug.io integration.there's a separate package called cargo-vibe that works like cargo-mommy, but instead of saying dommy-mommy things on a successful or failed build, it wraps buttplug.io so you can trigger a sex toy after a successful build. They're not integrated at all

@squishymage42 doing it properly would be too expensive and too dangerous unless we hired anyone with pyrotechnics experience

@foone Given that smoke machines are cool, should the computer emit smoke when a build fails or when it succeeds? 🤔

@foone compiler? if it is anything more complex that setting one or 2 channels to a certain value i had a lighting person come up with a show and use qlc+ with their websocket interface or trigger their show from their console using dmx or midi. python has some stuff (esp. if you use the enttec- branded rs485 transciever) for arduino style c++ i am using https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/dmxserial/ and the confetti canon you could also get away with a co2-cartridge basically shotgun pulled by a linear motor+hbridge

@foone by co2 shotgun i mean these https://www.ballonzauber.de/ballonshop.php?request=show_Produkt&ArtikelNr=840102 in german apparently the theater people call them "kabuki" i talked to a pyrotechnician i happen to know and she was adament that basically any other useful means of propelling the confetti would imply her being on standby while the system was energized (both compressor-and pyrotechnics-based)

@foone so now i am using a linear actuator to pull that cord that punctures the co2 cartridge to release the co2 and propell the confetti which is considered safe in the environment i have this isntallation.

@foone dmx and artnet are both so shitty and resilient it's amazing and terrifying at the same time.

@foone As a Go developer who enjoys synchronous build results, it is an ecosystem unknown to me.On the other hand, as my current job involves more and more building and deploying that Go code via Docker images, I realize that I'm spending more and more time on HNN. I might need those tools. But not the confetti cannon in a WFH setting.
