Happy New Year everyone!I recently started rebuilding my network-based lighting controller Tonalite from the ground-up so I can make it faster and have more industry-standard features. During development, I decided that it might be interesting to some people to learn how a lighting console...

I was thinking it would be useful for dimming (intensity or color) or pan/tilt.

Awesome, thanks! What kinds of shortcuts would you be interested in? IE. What would they do?

Thanks for trying it out! This is version 2 since I started developing it, but this is the first publicly available version. I call it version 2 because there was an iteration that was very different a couple of years ago. Version 2 was basically me starting over with the same name. I'll...

Hi everyone, I've been working on developing a new lighting software for schools and small venues for a while now, and have been using it for multiple shows during that time. I've finally put out a beta that I would like people to try out for themselves. Will you try it and give some feedback...

Hi,I have this formula to convert RGB to RGBAW but I was wondering if anyone could help me with formulas to convert to other common fixture color formats such as RGBI or RWAGCBI.Formula for RGB to RGBAW:w = min(ri, gi, bi) a = ri-w if (a>(gi-w)*2) a = (gi-w)*2 r = ri-w-a g = gi-w-a/2 b = bi-w
