Title: 1st Build Results
Post by: NavyGator on March 19, 2011,

Hi everyone, I wanted to share the results of my first DLA build. I assembled two Lynx Dongles v2.0, a Lynx Express v5.0 and verified that everything works.   :)

I posted a link to a video showing my Win7x64 laptop running Vixen and running some LED lights. The flicker is not bad in person but is amplified quite a bit by my camera since it runs at 24 frames per second.

Man this stuff is cool!!!  ;D

Thanks RJ, coop managers and everyone else.

Looks good!  Just finished up my first of ten boards from this latest coop.  About to head back down and get the next one started.

Did you find the aluminum stock you are using at home depot?  I'm looking to get some additional strain relief added to my cases as well.

It was Home Depot, 1/8 inch thick 3/4 inch flat bar. Looks like it will work pretty good also.

Nice video, I like the stress relief.  I have a few controllers without anything and I had some problems.

It was a straight forward addition to the box. Maybe you could incorporate it or something similar in to your LE's

Congrats on your first build!  Last night I finished my first Lynx Express and connected it to my first Lynx dongle and after firing up Light Show Pro and setting up the dongle I did a test sequence and nothing... ???  used the hardware test tool in LSP and everything worked fine.   ;D  Now I just have to figure out why LSP is not sending out my sequence but I know the Express and the dongle work great.  I have to say a big thank you to RJ for his great kits and to everyone involved in the coops for getting them to me.
