New Coop coming up...

[KeithTarpley]

Greetings,,,

FYI for anyone looking for FS, SSR4, or SSR4 DMX option parts, or pcbs.  Probably in a week or so, after getting everything double checked, a new Coop will be started.  So count you channels and see what you'd like to order.

I a a total newbie and I am trying to learn but sometimes I don't have all the necessary tools. .
If I have LEs, would I need any of these items?
I have read the info on the wiki, but I don't quite understand what I would use these for.

Thanks,
John

These are earlier designed units, and completely separate from the LE.  These are useful in certain situations where you want to put different channel numbers in physically different places.  The LEs are set up for 16 channels nearer each other.  The SSR4s, controlled by FreeStyle or by the optional DMX addon are set up for 4 channels near each other.

The FS isn't as advanced as the LE, but still is wanted by some people for what they do, hence the Coop.  Enjoy the LEs if you've got them.  I have both.

  I need some schooling on the SSR4 options..

  If I get a SSR4 with out the DMX option, what do I lose? Isn't all Lynx DMX?

 Also, if I get an SSR4 with out DMX option, can I still add Wireless to it at a later date?

Thanks,

I am fairly new also.  I have read the wiki so much I think I can add a little and then these pros can add more.  You will need the FS with the SSR if the SSR does not have DMX option.  The SSR with the DMX option would not require the FS and can be wireless.  I do not think the SSR without the DMX could be wireless, because it would need the DMX to work. Guys let me know if I am almost right or way off?   Again, my post is really a look for confirmation of my thinking. Don't take it as fact unless, of course I am right.  lol

Thanks,

As I typed this... Kevin (aka onesmoothhead) responded... and Kevin, you are correct and it's fact



A SSR4 w/out DMX would require a Freestyle.  The FS contains the circuit logic to receive DMX signal and trigger the triacs on the SSR4 (up to 32 SSR4 -128 channels).  Basically the SSR4 w/out DMX wouldn't know how to handle the DMX signal.  The DMX goes into the FS and the FS sends voltage signals to the SSR triacs to trigger on/off and anywhere in between.

A SS4 w/ DMX takes that circuit logic and moves it onto the SSR4 to create a standalone controller.  It would be a self contained box that can receive DMX and trigger the triacs.

If you aren't running SSR4 w/ DMX, then the wireless module would be added to the FS (again the SSR wouldn't know what to do w/ the DMX signal).  SSR w/ DMX, the wireless module can be added at anytime.

So to summarize... SSR w/o DMX requires a Freestyle... SSR w/ DMX is self contained.

GREAT!! Don't tell my wife. She is not used to me being right. Thank for the confirmation.


Thanks,

Everybody keep giving good answers.  It'll make it look like the coop is being run better.

Here is a good visual drawing of Freestyle and SSR4 set up.
