sACN Sender sample
Using the sACN sender sample bundle
The sacn-sender example bundle in samples/sacn-sender
demonstrates the ability
send data via sACN to e.g., open lighting architecture or professional lighting
equipment. Here is a guide to how to get it working.
Prerequisites
You will need a working nodecg-io
installation. If you have non yet take a
look at installation guide. You may need to
install this bundle, so take a look at the
“Try an included sample”-Guide. It
will also tell you how to log in and how to use the GUI.
You also need:
- A working sACN receiver in the current network
Configure the sACN sample bundle
- In NodeCG, create a new sacn-sender service instance.
-
Enter the needed options:
Universes
The universes to use. Must be an array with numbers within 1-63999
{ "universe": 1 }
Port
Optional. The multicast port to use. All professional consoles broadcast to the default port 5568.
{ "universes": 1, "port": 5568 }
ReuseAddr Optional. Allow multiple programs on your computer to listen to the same sACN universe.
{ "universes": 1, "reuseAddr": true }
After entering them, click save.

Set the sample's (
sacn-sender
) dependency to be the newly created service instance (of typesacn-sender
