StringTheory is a simple free, open-source tool to send and recieve string data over a variety of methods and formats, to test interaction of strings in lighting control products. It is provided by ETC Inc without any warranty, in the hope that it is a useful tool.
StringTheory supports Windows (Win 7/Win 10) and MacOS.
If you just want to install the program, visit the Releases page to download the installer for the latest release
If you are interested in building the application you will need the following:
- Qt Library and Creator - https://www.qt.io/ide/
- To build the windows installer - NSIS - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/
- If NSIS is included in your $PATH the installer will be built automatically
There is a plugin system to add additional string transports and functions
StringTheory is designed to interact with ETC products, but it is not official ETC software. For challenges using, integrating, compiling, or modifying items in this project, we encourage posting on the Issues page. StringTheory is a community-supported initiative, and the community is the best place to ask for help!
