HI Claude !!!

I bought cheap chinese dmx interface as a spare. Lxconsole sees it but still trying to make it work. Any idea ?

This is probably not compatible with DMX USB PRO api. This is probably just Open DMX USB. The difference is that the Pro has a microprocessor and takes commands while generating DMX output. The simpler and cheaper device is just a serial converter that goes from USB to DMX. LXConsole does not support this type of device.

However, you can try to use LXNet2DMX (https://www.claudeheintzdesign.com/lx/l ... about.html) which converts Art-Net or sCAN to drive an open dmx device. It is a utility application that runs by itself, separate from LXConsole but converts Art-Net or sACN from LXConsole into serial output for the open dmx box.
