I know it is a USB dongle but just to be sure, are there any mods you need to make to the dongle if you are a 240v user or is it fine to go as is?  Also, is the parts list in the Wiki for the V2 dongle?

Greetings,,,

The dongle uses USB and puts out a DMX stream, so works for all the voltage choices.  The wiki bom shows the different boms for v1 and v2, and the Mouser direct bom shows v2.  The v2 has the leds, if you need to see an easy difference...

Don't use the bom in the v1 manual.  Look below the manual at the boms on the equipment page, and the Mouser direct link, for the v2.

The dongle is a USB peripheral; it gets its power from the USB port, so it is not sensitive to the wall voltage.  It is also not sensitive to the line frequency, so 50Hz is not an issue.
