To go wireless for the express you will need the following
1 Wireless(TX/RX)Ver 2
and
for each Express 1 Express Receiver (EX/RX)Ver 2

in addition to the DMX dongle, you'll need

1. Lynx wireless PCB v2 + parts + ethernet cable

2a. either an express receiver EX/RX PCB v1 or v2 + parts

2b. OR a second Lynx wireless PCB v2 + parts to act as a "standalone receiver + ethernet cable

Mouser only carries the components.  To get the PCBs, try checking the DLA Store.  I will check at home, but I think I have some extra version 1 PCBs if RJ doesn't have any of the newer stuff.

Wait another week or so.  After RJ is sure that everyone has gotten their PCBS from that coop that just ran, he will more than likely post that he has some extras available.  At that point, you can check the DLA Store.

Then you can go to the wiki to get the parts list that you need to order from Mouser or wherever you get your parts.  As far as the cases, I think that you can order them from Polycase, but you will have to cut the holes out yourself.  You might PM D56VillageNut (Alan T) and see if he ordered any extra cases for the coop that he ran.

Sorry, was thinking about the dongle coop.

The receiver board is not part of the Express so it is not offered in the Express coop.  They are offered in the wireless coop along with the components and the connectors needed to connect it to the Express.

When I asked RJ recently, he indicated that there WOULD be a wireless coop in the future.  So the answer, for a wireless coop buy, is to be patient, Grasshopper.

You are correct. The chip was backwards, but it happened while I was crosschecking between boards.   I've corrected the chip and the problem remains.
