DummyRDM

DummyRDM is a tool for testing various controllers within an RDM network. Transport is provided via E1.33 RDMNet, Art-Net, and LLRP

Documentation Status

Motivation

I created this tool while developing LXNetTools as a means of creating a flexible framework for testing new device features in a fully controllable and customisable manner.

About the project

For ease of prototyping new features and portability, DummyRDM has been written in Python3, and tested on Mac OSX and Ubuntu (Windows pending). There's still a lot I need to tidy up while adding new features at the same time though it's functional, and over time I'm slowly getting rid of some ugly, repetitive code and making it more readable.

Docs and usage

Simply running python3 dummyrdm/dummyrdm.py from the root of the project should start up a basic test "node" with a 12 port, Artnet V4 node, a single RDM device with a randomly generated UID/CID, and LLRP/E1.33 responders. At present, most of the API has some documentation, even if it isn't perfect yet, but this is something I'm trying to tidy up. For example:

devicestore[1] = rdmdevice.rdmdevice()
devicestore[1].start()
artnetengne.registerdevice(1, 1)

Will add a new device to the devicestore, start the thread for the LLRP responder, and register it with the Art-net engine at port 1
