Greetings,,,
Getting the numbers together for a Coop. May take several weeks for that, or sooner. It will be for the Version 2 TX/RX, the case, and the Express Receiver EX/RX. More info to come.

Nice! That was next on my wish list for coops. Considering the number of LE's that just shipped in the recent coop (and the ones in the new coop), I suspect they'll be lots of interest in this wireless coop. Thanks for offering your time and energy to take on this effort.

You are the Man!
I haven't even looked to see what kind of prices have been done in the past.. Maybe I should do that so I can plan.... Esp. since I just got into the next Express COOP. Man I'm racking in the money.....
Shhhhhhh Please Don't Tell The Wife What I've Spent So Far!!!! She'd take it out of my hide! Or worse! lol

I'd definately be interested in this !!
There's only two things I need to complete my plans for this coming year...this is one of them (MR16 PCB's is the other)
As a rough guess, I think I'd be up for around 5 units.
thanks, scott
-
I've been waiting for one to start, depending on how much I'll need at least 2 of each.
-
Can you give us a day or so advance notice when it is going to start so I don't miss the whole coop while at work :)
-
Im interested but with all the coops I am in so far I could wait a few months for this one. Let me get what I got working...LOL
-
I would be interested. I already have the PCB's I need. It would be nice if you offered an option for everything minus the PCB's. :)
-
Very good - been waithing for this! I will probably need 2 TX/RX and 8 RX
thx
-
Great I can hardly wait. . . . am I going to have a busy summer!!

To answer a few questions:
The prices on this one don't drop very much, due to the wireless module prices. And I have to get the current costs figured. Waiting for price info to come in. But every little bit counts. And you get it all in one stop shopping.
This thread is the advance notice. So people can think about what they want, if they haven't already. But it will be opened for ordering for a couple of weeks or so. Plenty of time for people to order, but not so long to keep the coop from being completed in a few months, depending upon backorders, etc.
The kit options will be the same as the last coop, in order to fill in the gaps from what people already have.

Aye, I assumed the prices would change one way or the other. Hopefully we won't run into any issues with supplies the rest of this year with all the craziness in Japan.
-
Please set me straight. In order to control some native LOR boxes and some RENARD both running DMX I would need a minimum of 1 TX/RX configured to TX and at least 1 TX/RX in Receive mode.
Can the LE/RX be used with Renard and/or LOR?
Also which module would I need to control the Aether?

This may answer part of your questions:

That helps. Thanks. Sounds like TX/RX will work and EX 'might' work with mods but no guarantees. I'm already running everything in DMX so LOR specific software functions are not an issue.
That being the case I'd be in for at least 3 TX/RX PCBs, BOMs and Cases.
-
Greetings,,,
And the EX/RX for the Aether.
Keith
-
ok, then add 1 ex/rx also to my wish list.
-
Just to avoid a potential misunderstanding, this is not the coop.
Putting it on your wishlist is fine,, but if you don't post on the coop, your wishlist will not be fulfilled...

understood, this is the interest thread to give you an idea of the size of the coop. I look forward to your post directing us to the actual COOP thread.
-
Greetings,,,
This thread is just to let people know a Coop is planned to start in probably a couple of weeks or so. Waiting for pricing info, and getting the numbers together. Letting people know since so many LEs are out there that may be planned to be controlled by wireless, as well as other items.

Just off the top of my head and depending on pricing I am looking at 2-4 TX/RX boards an 3-5 for my expresses and SSR/DMX boxes if that coop ever happens.

i dont know what i need as i got 5 LE ..is it 1 or 2 or 5 that i need ?/
thank
-
And I would like 5, so this look like their is a lot of interest for a coop of wireless.
Thanks for finding out pricing and time line for parts. :D

The number of LE's is not important. What matters is how you want to hook them up. If you want each ne to be an indepndant unit then you would need one for each LE and a transmitter. If the LE's are close enough to cable them together then you only need 1 per group of LE's wired together.
-
Do I need the LE/RX header pin to hookup the EX/RX in an AETHER?
-
you do not need the special connector for the Aether. Just one LE/RX board. There are 3 holes in the Aether board waiting for you to solder in 3 connector wire (+, - and data). The info in the Wiki points you to the page about the special connector because that is where the info on how to pick up the +/-/d from the LE/RX is shown. Because of the metal shell for the Aether, the wireless board (LE-RX) is mounted separated from the aether board and connected only by wire.
Hope this helps.

Larry, Thanks. Much appreciated.

k here 1 more question
i have 4 ren 24 ... 1 ren 64 ,,, 4 ren 48 lsd ....and 5 lynx express ... i already have plan to wireless for the lynx but witch one do i need for the ren ?? do i need the kit 1 or 4 ??
thank
-
There are a few ways to go. If the ren units are close to an express, you could use an LE/RX unit in the express and then cable from the Express to the Renard units. If not, then I would use Kit 1 because then all you need to do is make an adapter cable to connect between the Lynx unit and the Renard. Attempting to use Kit 4 on the Renard would require you to make mods to the Renard units which is obviously much more difficult and for many not worth the cost savings. Of course, remember that the Renard units need to be configured to run on DMX to use them with RJ's equipment.

so i guess the trick is to put a lynx between or close to my ren ...that i can do i guess ... how hard will it be to control them or tell them to do it that way in vixen ?
thanks

Putting an Express close to the Ren units will save you a few bucks but you don't need to do it that way if it screws up your plans or layout. A stand alone RX/TX can be connected without any need or an Express in the area. Remember that either an Express or a stand alone receiver will still require that adapter cable to connect Lynx to Renard. As for controllin them, I don't understand what you mean by that. If the Renard units ae configurd to work with DMX, they should act like any other DMX unit such as the Express and all you need to do is set the starting address of the unit. DMX doesn't care where the units are on the cables, only that they get the signal.
