# Example of how to use pyudmx with a Thinpar 64 light
# http://venuelightingeffects.com/wp-content/uploads/manuals/Venue_Thinpar_64_Manual_HR.pdf
# 7 channel mode
# Channels 1-3 are RGB
# Channel 7 is the dimmer
#
# Requirements
# A virtual environment meeting the requirements defined in requirements.txt works best.
# Specifically the pyusb module must be installed.
