Does anyone have a similar setup?
I have a Lynx express and a D-Light ACx16.
I was hoping to run the LE with my DMX dongle and then feed the D-Light unit with the help of the proper lynx dongle to LOR pinout cable that I made from the instructions in the WIKI.
I read some of the forums but they mostly talk about the LOR unit.
My D-Light unit does have the latest firmware.
I am currently using Vixen. I can get both controllers to work in Vixen independantly. I found on the web a Vixen plug-in for the D-Light unit. It works but only at a lower baud rate.
Please let me know if you have a solution for this and yes, I will ditch the D-Light unit as soon as I can. I absolutely love the design of the LE however Christmas is fast approaching and I would like to maximize the # of channels I currently have.
Thanks, Ricardo

I think that you answered your own question by saying you needed to use a D-Light Vixen plug-in to run the D-light unit.
If you could run the D-light via the DMX plug-in or whatever, then your LE-to-LOR cable might work.
However, I think the D-light uses a different protocol (language) than DMX, and so in order to use both, you'd need two dongles - one to talk DMX, and one to talk D-light.
You might asking the question of if the D-light controller understands DMX on the D-light forum. I know both the guys that started d-Light and they should be able to answer your question.

The D-light AC-16 or all of them for that matter use their own proprietary protocol. We are in a holding pattern now for the release of the "Aurora DMX Adapter" and DMX enabled Aurora software.
Each device will require its own adapter to communicate with your software.
