Hello all,
I had one of my D-light usb->RS485 adapters give up the ghost on me and I am scrambling to find a solution. The show goes live Tomorrow and I can not run a segment due to the lose of this connector.
So this leads to the question:
Can the Lynx dongle be used to send generic RS485 or will it only be able to send DMX? I realize that DMX is run over RS485 but I believe that the dongle is doing some "value add" by buffering the data and ensuring a smooth DMX stream. I would think that the LOR protocol data would not function properly with that buffering stream.
Any thoughts? Has there ever been a firmware load for the dongle that would accommodate this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
