A desktop app for driving DMX stage lighting, built as a native Tauri app: a Rust core that talks to the hardware and a Next.js + shadcn/ui front end to drive it. Lux controls an Enttec OpenDMX USB interface and exposes the same controls three ways — the desktop UI, an HTTP API, and a Discord bot.
The Rust side keeps a DMX channel buffer continuously synced to the hardware
(src-tauri/src/{buffer,channels,sync}.rs) behind a device abstraction
(src-tauri/src/devices/); the UI talks to it over taurpc, so the
Rust↔TypeScript command layer is type-safe end to end.
