artnet
A Node.js module for sending ArtDMX packets to Art-Net nodes to control DMX512 lighting and stage equipment.
What is artnet?
artnet is a Node.js module that sends ArtDMX packets to Art-Net nodes, enabling software control of DMX512 lighting and stage equipment. It solves the problem of programmatically managing lighting setups by providing a simple API to set DMX channels and send triggers over UDP. This allows developers to integrate dynamic lighting effects into applications, installations, or automated shows.
Node.js developers working on lighting automation, stage production software, interactive installations, or entertainment technology projects that require DMX512 control.
Developers choose artnet because it offers a lightweight, focused library for Art-Net communication with built-in rate throttling and flexible channel control. Unlike generic UDP libraries, it handles Art-Net protocol specifics, making it easier to implement reliable lighting control without low-level packet crafting.
