The DMX2 output on the version 3 Express is the only one that outputs the Wireless DMX as wired DMX. I am sorry but the wireless was not going to be like this when it started out it was a improvement made from input of users to do it so you got a splitter out of it also.
If you have a ver 2 PCB that you need this on and it is not built yet you can use your parts and change just the PCB out. All the parts are the same. Then add three parts for about $2 and you have a version 3 unit. If you do not need this you are missing nothing.
Next I hope all of you have seen this post :

LoginOne user read this to mean there would be no other wireless modules for the other Lynx equipment. This is not correct at all. The express module example was just that an example. The first line says Lynx Equipment not Express. I do not want any other person confused on it.
The wireless for the other items as always will follow after a successful beta of the Express modules. They are based on the same circuits so development of them is really already done. In fact in the video of the wireless working, if you notice the proto is feeding the signal to the express via cat5 as I have no modules yet (waiting on the PCB's) so if you think about it what I am working with is already the next device (cat5 DMX out).
I know everyone is excited about the wireless, none more than me. But hang on and keep the speculation in check for a few more weeks and then if all goes well I will be able to release all of the nitty gritty of the units. Pictures, Video, and explanation of how they work.
Understand, the above posted statement is not even about Lynx users, Lynx users will be able to have all the wireless they can use. It is about not making it the cheap route for every DJ to add wireless to their shows. It is about not competing with commercial companies like LOR for their wireless market. It is about adding even more value to being a Lynx user than we already have.
The wireless is a beginning not an end to where we are going with the Lynx Equipment.
The stuff in the pipe you do not even know about makes the wireless boring!
We will be working on a cheap plug in module for the Freestyles that make them work just like a 128 channel External Express with display, LNT, and all for FS users and a redesign for new FS users to have it built in.
Next years has some toys that will have you as excited about them as the wireless if not more.
I am not trying to create the best DIY equipment for holiday lighting. I am trying to create the best holiday lighting equipment for the home user who will DIY. There is a difference in the two.
Amazing things have been happing at DLA lately. With the current Coop we will exceed 500 Express's going out to users since the beginning of the year .
For some fun facts on The LYNX Controllers:
There is 41,828 channels of LYNX equipment out in a year and a half.
This does not include the over 250 Expresses and 615 SSR4's in coops right now.
If you attach only one string of 100 count minis to each channel of the Lynx Equipment that has been sent out in the last year and a half. You would have almost 4.2 million lights in use.
The current draw to run this would be 13803 amps or 1,656,360 watts.
So please blink them don't leave them on or the planet will burn up!!!! LOL
