Macintosh Applications
In my spare time I write Apple Macintosh applications relating to the world of stage lighting. I write the applications in C++ and have made the transition to Mac OS X.
My Current projects are ( the titles are only working titles at the moment )...

MacWYG
There are several 3D visualisers and pre programming tools for lighting designers and programmers on the market. I have a basic running application that emulates wash lights and LED fixtures. Control is through Art-Net. I am still learning a lot about writing 3D graphics applications using OpenGL. The light positions are drawn like a lighting plan in Vectorworks and exported to MacWYG for using with a console.



MacChat
MacChat is a simple application for Mac OS X to configure and test the DHA Digital Light Curtain.

Features
Manual control of standard DHA Lighting Curtains and Pitching Light Curtains.
Set position limits quickly and easily individually or in groups.
Set the zero position individually or in groups.
Run test sequences on groups of Light Curtains.

Connection to the Light Curtain/Light Talk Network is via a standard USB to Serial adaptor.
The application is almost ready. If you are interested in beta testing please email me.


iTech
iTech acts as a simple lighting console specifically aimed at the maintenance and repair of automated lighting fixtures. Currently iTech supports the Interactive Technologies SideWinder interface ( via a Keyspan USB to Serial adaptor ) or the Enttec DMXUSB Pro Widget ( a USB to DMX512 interface ). iTech will support input and output via Art-Net shortly.
