Digital Enlightenment / FX5 not recognized

[andrew-1693]

Hi everyone,

I would like to report that OLA 0.10.9 does not recognize the Digital Enlightenment / FX5 interface on Debian 13.

The same interface is correctly detected and works with other software, such as QLC+ and the "rainloreley/artnet-usbdmx-converter" project.

I am available to perform any tests or provide any additional information that may help investigate and resolve the issue.

Thanks a lot, and thank you for your excellent work on this project!

Hi @andrew-1693 ,

Support for this interface will be in our 0.11.0 release onwards, which should be coming out very soon now.

Please feel free to follow one of our guides for building from git master if you'd like to test-drive the code before then (which is always appreciated).

See for example these docs:

@peternewman
Thanks for your response. I think I’ll be able to test the recommended beta tomorrow.

In the meantime, I would like to share some tests I have already been able to carry out (ola-usbdmx enabled):

1. Starting with "olad -l 4", the log shows:
