I have successfully put together one Lynx Express and Dongle. I had my doubt with only less than a month to get the LE and dongle boards, plus the parts from Mouser and getting the PIC programmed, today at 3:55 PT the project came together. One more step and that is to add the output power cables to the LE and we will have a show tomorrow.
I have programmed three songs Christmas Vacation (my inspiration from the first time I saw it 20+ years ago), Music Box and Wizard in winterland
Thanks to RJ great manual and video instructions. Also, thank you Smartcontrols with programming my LE PIC and some expert guidance and Knguyen916 assistance me in programming my Dongle PIC.
I will have a show at my house. I know it is only 1 -16 channel controller, but this man has taken a big step into a dream that I have had for a long time.
Thank you all.
I will try to add video of my display on this thread.
