@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 if you're lazy like me, circuitpython has a hid output module https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/shared-bindings/usb_hid/
