DMX4Linux can control the tda8444 DAC connected to an I2C bus. Up to 4 tda8444 can be controlled over a single I2C bus, resulting in 32 analog outputs.
If you don't have a I2C bus, you can fake it with a standard parallel port and the following schematic. Use the i2c-simple-par driver to access it.
Using your setup
You should connect your tda8444 hardware to an I2C bus and configure your Linux Kernel to enable the I2C subsystem and your local I2C device. If you are using the above parport hack, load the driver with: modprobe i2c-simple-par.
Then load the tda8444 driver: modprobe tda8444.
Finally load the DMX4Linux I2C driver: modprobe dmxi2c.
You should now have a working DMX4Linux setup.
Driver configuration
i2c-simple-par
Synopsis
i2c-simple-par [parport=
You can use the following line in /etc/modules.conf to set another default parport.options i2c-simple-par parport=3
dmxi2c
Synopsis
dmxi2c [adapter=
The adapter parameter selects the 'nth DAC on the I2C bus.
