Description

LanBox is a standalone DMX controller. It is programmed with the LCedit software, which can be downloaded from the LanBox support page.

It includes a small fixture library. Unfortunately, the fixture format is binary, so it will be hard to reverse-engineer.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the LanBox support page and investigating how LCedit stores or exports its binary fixture library. The issue provides no repository file, test, or entry point, so first determine where plugins are implemented and whether the format can be understood. Done means a working LanBox LCedit plugin, with its supported fixture data available through the library.
