# libdimmer
This was something I had in my archives from college; I thought it
would be interesting if theaters could, instead of buying an expensive
lighting board, just hook their lighting system up to a retail
PC to control it.
My friend Greg and I poked at this for a bit. This project was to
deal with driving the hardware and [a separate app](https://github.com/icculus/daddymax)
was to be the front end.
We never got far on this project, at the time I didn't have access to
any sort of DMX hardware I could drive from a PC, and if I were to
look through these files, I'm sure we overengineered this into surrender
almost immediately.
That being said, a simple Google search will show that other people also
thought the _concept_ was good, and you can see that commercial products to
drive DMX systems via a PC exist in the world now, and that's good enough
for me, honestly.
So this is just for the history books, it isn't much, and I don't
expect I'll be looking at this further.
