Rays 27 channel DMX board

Anyone using one of Ray's 27 channel DMX boards?  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I am looking for a little guidance on how I would configure this in LSP

[kevr]

From what I understand these are simply a DMX controller with a selectable DIP switch start address, therefore you could just select a DMX controller in LSP.

These are then set to be a 9 channel RGBcontroller.

I am using 7 of them. What question do you have?

[kjam22]

How do you hook up DMX to them since they have the round connection on board?  I am assuming I can replace it with a RJ45 some how but dont have one to look at yet.

[dpitts]

I replace all of mine with 10" of cat5 cable and RJ-45 connector. I then use RJ-45 coupler to connect to cat5 cable. I will take pictures and post them.

There is a wiki page on the cat5 conversion cable:

I've got a 27-channel controller and it works well.

I think they support much more current than a single RJ-45 cable can handle so if you use the RJ-45 for power be careful.

I removed the XLR connectors on 5 of my controllers but on two of them I kept them on. You can solder cat 5 cable onto the bottom of board if you want to keep them.

Power is not supplied through the cat 5. These boards require a separate power supply.

Thanks for all of the information!  I am going to order a couple of these to run some "dumb" strings.  I continue to be amazed at how helpful everyone is - thanks again

If you order them from Ray please note that you can get the female four conductor waterproof pigtails in longer lengths. I think mine were 40 cm. Made it easy to have connectors reach the outside of enclosure. Also please see this mod to increase current output. Look at post #48 from user 'AAH'. I have modified all my boards. I have attached a pic of one.

Interesting...
If you start running the current up, you may want to consider heat sinks on the output devices as well...

I've ordered 9 for use this year. Hope they work!!!

Which power supply are people getting for this controller?  The one below?
