  • Nope. But we have a detailed documentation for our DDFs (Device Definition Files) in our Wiki - also in English: https://wiki-en.dmxcontrol-projects.org/index.php?title=DDF_DMXC3. All is made in XML, so it's possible to write a DDF by using simple text editors. We recommend here Notepad++ with the plug-in XML-Tools.

    The best idea is basically to check, if there is a almost similar device available in our DDFLibary and use them as a template. The rest is Copy & Paste from the examples in the Wiki and editing the values to fit with your device.

    When you are talking you have a Moving Bar with 8 LEDs: Here you have to split the functions in to separate DDFs. A example how to do is also available in the documentation. If you have further questions when writing the DDF for this device, we can discuss them in a separate thread - but then we need to now, what is the specific device and of course the manual.
