bbb.dmx latest

Latest main build for bbb.dmx.

Commit: d6b5d8c
Workflow run: https://github.com/bbb-max-externals/bbb.dmx/actions/runs/32146558359

This is a moving release generated from main. Use versioned v* releases for pinned/stable installs.

bbb.dmx v0.7.1

Changes

• Add fixture parameter ranges metadata for shutter modes, strobe ranges, wheel slots, and stepped DMX parameters.
• Convert GDTF/MVR embedded GDTF/compatible MA3 ChannelFunction and ChannelSet tables into ranges.
• Add lint checks for range domain errors plus gap/overlap warnings.
• Update schemas, docs, examples, converter smoke tests, and C++ profile loader tests.

CI will attach bbb.dmx.zip after the release workflow completes.

bbb.dmx v0.7.0

Breaking changes

• bbb.dmx.movertrack now uses the GDTF/DIN SPEC 15800 hanging-device coordinate model directly:
  • beam rest direction is device-local -Z
  • pan rotates about device +Z
  • tilt rotates about device +X
• Fixture patches move to bbb.dmx.patch.v2 with required "coordinates": "gdtf".
• The old ambiguous bbb.dmx.patch.v1 schema is no longer emitted or supported by the CLI linter/runtime patch loader.
• Existing hand-authored Max-upright patches should be re-authored as GDTF patches. Do not carry forward the old @rot 180. 0. 0. @tilt_offset -90. correction unless you are intentionally compensating for non-GDTF data.

Added / changed

• Updated smart pan/tilt tracking candidate math for GDTF-equivalent solutions.
• Updated MVR/GDTF converter output to write bbb.dmx.patch.v2 and coordinates:gdtf.
• Updated bbb-dmx-lint, JSON schemas, examples, help patch, README, and JSON spec for the GDTF coordinate model.
• Bumped Max package metadata to 0.7.0.

Validation

• cmake --build build-matrixmap --config Release
• ctest --test-dir build-matrixmap --output-on-failure
• npm --prefix tools/bbb-dmx-convert run check
• npm --prefix tools/bbb-dmx-convert run smoke
• scripts/validate-json-schemas.sh

bbb.dmx v0.6.0

bbb.dmx v0.6.0

DMX utility expansion release.

Added

• bbb.dmx.curve: channel/range curves for multi-universe DMX frames.
  • Supports linear, gamma, invert, threshold, and point interpolation.
  • Config examples in curves/example.json.
• bbb.dmx.mask: hard channel/range constraints for multi-universe DMX frames.
  • Supports mute, hold, allow, and force.
  • Config examples in masks/example.json.
• bbb.dmx.palette: fixture-aware normalized parameter palettes.
  • Applies named palettes to all fixtures or wildcard fixture id filters.
  • Config examples in palettes/example.json.
• bbb.dmx.scene: fixture-aware deterministic scene recall.
  • Resets patched fixtures to defaults, applies fixture-pattern scene rules, and outputs all patched universes.
  • Config examples in scenes/example.json.
• bbb.dmx.fixtureview: diagnostic decoder for current DMX frames through fixture patch/profile metadata.
  • Reports fixture, parameter, raw bytes, raw value, and normalized value.

Packaging

• Package archive now includes curves/, masks/, palettes/, and scenes/ example directories.
• macOS externals are universal binaries.
• Windows .mxe64 externals are built by CI.

Validation

• Local macOS build passed.
• Local common tests passed.
• GitHub Actions Build & Package passed on macOS and Windows for commit 102d1e9.

v0.5.1

bbb.dmx v0.5.1

Changes:

• bbb.dmx.matrixmap now accepts char and float32 jit.matrix input.
• Matrix values are normalized before fixture writes: char uses byte/255, float32 clamps 0.0..1.0.
• Fixture parameters now support u24 color channels in addition to u8 and u16.
• Normalized writes map to u8, u16, or u24 target ranges through the common fixture mapper.
• Added generic RGB 16-bit and 24-bit fixture profiles.
• Updated matrixmap and fixturemap docs/help/tests.

Notes:

• The release workflow attaches bbb.dmx.zip after the release event completes.
• High-resolution parameters currently assume contiguous bytes starting at the first listed channel.

bbb.dmx v0.5.0

Adds bbb.dmx.matrixmap for sampling char jit.matrix color data into fixture parameters and emitting canonical multi-universe DMX frames.\n\nIncluded:\n- matrix map JSON schema and documentation\n- 2x2 RGB grid example split across universes 1 and 2\n- bbb.dmx.matrixmap Max help patch\n- package assembly now includes docs and maps\n- macOS linker flag accumulation fix for larger external sets\n\nValidation:\n- local macOS universal build passed\n- local common tests passed\n- GitHub Actions push build 27337131034 passed on macOS and Windows

bbb.dmx v0.4.0

bbb.dmx v0.4.0

Multi-universe DMX utility release.

Changes:

• Add monitor, merge, fade, generator, safety, record, patchcheck, and fixtureinfo utilities.
• Use explicit universe-prefixed 512-channel frame messages for multi-universe chains.
• Keep network output out of this repo; hand off to bbb.artnet or another sender.
• Add package entries, help patches, and utility specs.
• Build macOS universal externals and Windows externals through CI.

Validation:

• Local CMake build succeeded.
• Local unit tests passed.
• GitHub Actions Build and Package passed on macOS and Windows for main.

v0.3.1

Documentation/help refresh for the current v0.3 API surface.

Changes:

• Rewrote movertrack SPEC around the implemented tracking_mode smart/pan/off solver.
• Documented shortest_pan as a compatibility switch, not the legacy pan-only solver control.
• Expanded fixturemap README/SPEC coverage for outlets, autobang, load/inspect messages, raw channel messages, and ptbytes integration.
• Updated Max help patches with missing fixturemap examples and a real movertrack bang message.

No runtime code changes beyond the package version bump.

bbb.dmx v0.3.0

Movertrack smart tracking and calibration update.\n\n- Add tracking_mode smart/pan/off. smart is now the default and evaluates direct plus pan+180/tilt-flipped candidates before clipping.\n- Preserve the old pan-only behavior with tracking_mode pan.\n- Add calibrate_pan and calibrate_tilt messages to derive offsets from a known target and measured DMX value/bytes.\n- Update README and Max help, with regression tests for smart tracking and calibration.\n- macOS universal and Windows packages are built by GitHub Actions.

bbb.dmx v0.2.2

Package update for the validated upside-down ceiling-hung movertrack calibration.

• Document @rot 180. 0. 0., @tilt_invert 0, and @tilt_offset -90. in README and Max help.
• Add a regression test for the inverted-hang vertical direction behavior.
• Keep macOS universal and Windows build packaging via GitHub Actions.
