DMX - Protocol Converter

The DMX board provides the essential interface
between PC and Microcontroller applications
and the industry standard DMX network protocol
as used in many theater lighting and control systems.

This board is designed for connection to a DMX loop, specifically for controlling stage lights, special effects units and servo motors. It can receive or transmit DMX code and translate it from and to a variety of I/O channels. It has been designed as a flexible interface device to the very fast DMX512 network to allow enthusiasts to develop their own computer controller lighting and special effects with the minimum amount of electronics. The DMX board can be configured to act as a transmitter or receiver unit.

The DMX Board has available a Windows demonstration programmed plus some VBASIC code to assist with individuals development projects.

Unit comes with user manual and assembled board.
Tested and ready for use.
