Controlling Lights from Touchdesigner

In Touchdesigner DMX data is sent to the daisy-chain of fixtures through USB (via an ENTTEC available at the uitleen) or ArtNet.

Sometimes, the DMX Out in TD won't work. Solution: adding dummy channels to the universe, so all 512 get 'a signal' 
This tox should work. Choose Serial/Artnet (then also set artnet adres, preset = Blackbox JK)

In Touchdesigner you can create 'presets' called Toxes. You can save these on your computer for easy acces:
