Lumos is a Python library for working with DMX512_ lighting control signals sent over ethernet. This is done using multicast UDP as a sub-protocol of ACN_ referred to as E1.31 or streaming ACN.

This is currently only an implementation of basic transmit functionality.

The entirety of the current functionality is exposed through a single class::

from lumos import DMXSource

source = DMXSource(universe=1)

# data is an iterable of DMX512 bytes
data = [255] * 50

source.send_data(data)

For a far more complete tool see the OLA project_ - but for smaller, more portable projects, this library may be all you need.
