Analog to DMX

Resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has since developed a DMX app for chromebooks. Looking for an easy way to get kids playing with it.

Anything is possible, but Chrome OS has 1% of the market, compared to macOS 13%, and Windows 82%. If you were writing software, which would you create for?

I know this is an old thread, but...

I have used Doug Fleenor converters in multiple venues. They always work and Doug is a super-awesome guy.

You might want to take a look at LS-Core.
There was some discussion of this in the LDI 2018 coverage. It is browser based and might be very usable. The Core does have 2 universes of DMX and supports a total of 8.

The closest thing I've seen is Gantom Gplex which runs on a phone. http://www.gantom.com/controllers/gplexconnect/

Also, depending on your console there is likely an offline editor that can be used to program on a laptop. Sometimes it's fully functional and free, other times a dongle is required.

You could possibly run OLA (on a Raspberry Pi even) and interface to it to show demonstrations with DMX - https://wiki.openlighting.org/index.php/Open_Lighting_Project
