Hi to All,
I just signed up on the forum yesterday, and obviously I am a little late in getting started this year, as the wife had me remodeling the kitchen all summer. The DLA store appears to be out of stock on most of the PCBs that I would like to start with. I also understand that I can't build too much until the coops start back up, but I would like to start playing around with vixen and a simple smart pixel string. That way when the coops start back up, I will have some experience behind me and a better idea of what I would need to purchase.
I am looking for a Lynx Dongle PCB or Kit. I really want to try my hand at putting a board together from scratch, as the last time I soldered anything of substance was back in high school. I realize I will need a few other items to get started such as a power supply, dmx decoder for the appropriate protocol, and a led pixel light strip or string. Just thought I would start with the first item that connects to the computer and work my way out. to the lights.
Also any comments, suggestions or thread pointers on getting started with my first strand would be appreciated.
Steve
