    I simply would like to to inform you I was able to compile on ODROID-U3 with Ubuntu 14.04!
    The peculiarity it is able to use fine a USB to RS485 TTL Serial Converter Adapter by FT232RL,
    for example right now in my case OLA did not managed it.
    My goal is to understand why.

    Grazie!
    Giuseppe

    You're welcome Giuseppe.

    Thanks for sharing this information !

    If you manage to take a few photos of your hardware or a video of what you're able to do with QLC+ on the ODROID, it would be awesome

    To anyone interested in this, the ODROID U3 is based on this hardware:

    • 1.7GHz Quad-Core ARM processor and 2GByte RAM
    • 10/100Mbps Ethernet with RJ-45 LAN Jack
    • 3 x High speed USB2.0 Host ports
    • Audio codec with headphone jack on board
    • GPIO/UART/I2C ports
    • XUbuntu 13.10 or Android 4.x Operating System
    • Size : 83 x 48 mm, Weight : 48g including heat sink

      it is the simplest choice.

      the client are handmade with arduino nothing complicated about a ATmega8 and a rgb led

      I wondered if can you tell me something about DMX USB plugin code,
      I would like to understand how to recognize and work with my adapter

      Grazie!
      Giuseppe

    Giuseppe, what is that you want to know in particular regarding the code ?
    In Linux it's an implementation of IO based on the libFTDI library.

    Maybe you can take a look at the code yourself: https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/tree/master/plugins/dmxusb/src

      Thanks for the useful link!
      In the functions recommended one of these can be used to transmit DMX simply passing a pair of numerical values
      device number - value
      in that case witch one I have to try?

      many thanks for your patience
      Giuseppe
