STM32 Page


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.
