Title: How do you make a ssr 4 with dmx wireless
Post by: holland lights on September 22, 2011,

How do you go by making the ssr 4 with dmx wireless? I was wondering if there is a way too.

yea. In theory you should be able to hook his wireless modules to any dmx device and it should work, but only if there is the ight voltge source and get the dmx signl hooked up right.

Well last night i finally got my first ssr 4 wireless. How do you attach the wireless inside the case, do you use two sided tape or what?

I use a thick double sticky foam tape.  Be sure to mount the exrx so that when the lid is closed and hanging up with cords hanging down that the antenna is in the up position.  You get a better signal with the antenna in the up position per RJ.

I use the sticky-back velcro.

You neverknow what you will do with that next year. The foam tape will be hard to remove.

Also, I'm hoping that you've seen the posts about removing the LEDs on the RX board... The little transformer on the SSR4 is pretty heavily loaded with the DMX PIC and the wireless receiver, and those two LEDs draw a lot of power...

I had trouble with the PIC rebooting last year and ended up pulling out the wireless module before the discussion on removing the LEDs. I had some pretty long power cords getting to where these were, which I'm sure didn't help...

No i didnt see that post. I did notice since im apart of the dmx tester beta group, that they took out the leds on the wireless transmitter.

I did have to remove my EXRXs last year to reorient the antenna and the foam tape came off ok.  And it was still sticky enough that I could reuse it.  But I agree that sometimes foam tape can be a problem.  Maybe it is all the flux residue and solder points sticking out that made it not a flat surface that helped it come off easy.  Who knows.
