Hi, i have been struggling now for 4 days to get the OLA to work. What i want to achieve is to control my led lights in my flat through openhab. Luckily its summer now, because i cant figure out where the problem is.
in openhab i have the dmx binding set to localhost:9090(how to connect it to the correct universe?), but i am confident that the problem is OLA. I have a usb dongle and its says i should use the ftdi and artnet plugin so both those are enabled. How can i test that the ola is setup correctly?. I know my hardware is correct because it works on windows.
So i start olad -l 3 and it shows this:
How come the .ola folder does not show up on winscp?
and how come the config are in the .ola and in the var/lib/ola/conf?
I added a screenshot for the artnet configuration:
the dev info looks like
So what are i am doing wrong and can i use the dmx monitor to test my light?
Any help for a linux newbie would be highly appreciated.

Hello,
Your usb dongle is not declared in OLA. It could be added this way :https://github.com/OpenLightingProject/ola/issues/245

The config folder's location depends on how you installed OLA.
Sometimes it'll be ~/.ola , other times (if you installed using debian
packages) it'll be /var/lib/ola/conf. You can find out by looking at
the olad logs.
Unix / Linux has a convention that files & directories that begin with
. are hidden. To see then you'll need to do ls -a from the command
line. There is probably a winscp option to show hidden files as well.

I don't know, which instructions did you use to install it?

So i guess i have multiple instalations of OLA installed since i have two folders with config files, and also that i have an old version since kwmatic is not supported?
I have | Version | 0.9.2, how do i update it to latest version(sudo apt-get update?) and get rid of the duplicate configuration folder, which one should i keep, the one in .ola or the one /var/lib? Thanks |

Yes sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade will do it Kim.
I wouldn't worry too much about the other config folder, just make sure you edit the one that the live olad is using if you need to tweak the config.
Can you show us the link for exactly which instructions you used, is it a pi image?

It worked!! Thanks a lot guys. However to get it to work with openhab, i need to change the universe to 0, how can i reconfigure ola to get rid of the first 6 that didnt work, just delete all content in ola-universe file? and then start olad -l 3?

You can do that/delete the whole ola-universe file, or just simply remove all patched ports from the universes you don't need and they'll vanish.

You might need to talk to the openhab guys. Does olad -l 4 have anything useful in it/can you post it?
