Description
A USB dongle used for controlling 1 universe (512 channels) of DMX. The dongle uses the FTDI chipset and is Open DMX compatible.
Non isolated and with ESTA RJ45 pinout.
NOTE: new dongle design has send and receive leds and a male plug with a 40cm lead
Dongle ships without an RJ45 joiner as linked too below.
Open dmx FTDI drivers can be downloaded from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm if required
Guides on installing the drivers can be found at http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm
This dongle can be run as an Open DMX device under Light-O-Rama, LightShowPro, Vixen or Xlights lighting softwares.
The dongle can also be used for controlling Light-O-Rama boards instead of the genuine LOR dongles. The LOR-ESTA adaptor below or a crossover cable is required to change from the ESTA pinout to the LOR one. Details of that can be found at http://auschristmaslighting.com/wiki/DMX_Adapter_Leads#Reversible_DMX.2FLOR_Adapter
For testing your lights I recommend using da_tester that David Duffy from www.audiovisualdevices.com.au has on www.da-share.com/software/da_tester
