[0039] The user operates the magnetic rotary encoder unit 208 through rotation or other actions, causing it to output a rotation detection signal, thereby achieving brightness and angle control of the lamp. The magnetic rotary encoder unit 208 and the FPGA main control processing unit 202 can be connected via an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus.

[0040] The DMX512 transceiver module 206 can transmit and receive data between the FPGA main control module 200 and the lamp to achieve lamp control. The DMX512 transceiver module 206 and the FPGA main control processing unit 202 can be connected via a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) interface.

[0041] The X86 processing module 400 includes a processor unit 402 and a processing module interface 404 that are connected to each other; the processing module interface 404 is also connected to the uplink interface 204 .

[0042] Data communication between the FPGA main control module 200 and the X86 processing module 400 is achieved through the connected uplink interface 204 and the processing module interface 404 .

[0043] Specifically, the upstream interface 204 may be a USB (Universal Serial Bus) upstream interface; and the processing module interface 404 may be a USB downstream interface corresponding to the USB upstream interface.

[0044] In some embodiments, the USB upstream interface in the FPGA main control module 200 transmits device-type data via a USB cable and the USB downstream interface of the X86 processing module 400, and can also provide power supply voltage for the normal operation of each module in the X86 processing module 400.

[0045] The X86 processing module 400 can be a consumer-grade small-volume X86 architecture CPU (Central Processing Unit) series, such as a consumer-grade X86 motherboard or a standard Qseven module, so as to realize data processing and data transmission of lamps through a small-volume chip, realize stage lighting control, and at the same time meet the miniaturization design of the portable stage lighting console 10.

[0070] When the battery charge and discharge management unit 414 detects that the battery 500 is present to provide power for the portable stage lighting console 10, the current flows through the battery charge and discharge management unit 414 and the X86 power management unit 416 and then flows into the processor unit 402 to provide power for other modules in the X86 processing module 400. At the same time, the current also flows through the battery charge and discharge management unit 414, the X86 power management unit 416 and the FPGA power management unit 214 and then flows into the FPGA main control processing unit 202 to provide power for other modules in the FPGA main control module 200.

[0071] Furthermore, the X86 power management unit 416 steps down the voltage inputted by the current through the battery charge and discharge management unit 414 to adapt to other modules of the portable stage lighting console 10 .
