"Backwards compatable to be used on current equipment"....

RJ,

Does "current equipment" include Sean Bowf's SSR design?


Waiting to celebrate (if the answer is yes)....

The SSR's by sean are not controllers so getting wireless DMX to them would not do anything for you. The SSR4 with the DMX option on the other hand are controllers so you will be able to add wireless to them to use.

I think one step farther on this would be the SSROZ Sean's design can still be used but you will need a FreeStyle or a Grinch with the DMX converter to drive the SSR.  The FreeStyle or DMX Converter would get the DMX signal and then operate the SSROZ.

Yes if that is what you mean than todd is spot on. I though you mean would the wireless add DMX to a standard SSR. But after Todds posting I see you could be meaning this. The SSR does not care what controller triggers them it can be any DMX or any Renard design that uses those SSR's.

Guess I'll be building a converter for 09. I have 2 Grinches. Would I need 2 converters? Then again, I may sell one of the Grinches and add another Freestyle for next season.

Thanks for the help,

I finished the code for the much more advanced multi universe wireless systems receiver. I am now working on the transmitter side of things to get to a point where I can begin testing the new setup. 

The progress is moving ahead on it and looks very promising. It was nice to get a Wireless DMX setup running but I feel it is worth the time to do this much more powerful and flexible one to insure we stand ahead of the curve instead of behind it.

Congratulations RJ

I still don't know how you find the time to do even a 1/10th of what you achieve.

So many of us owe you so much for all the hard work you put in.

As most of you know I had to put this project on the back burner long enough to get the Lynx Express and my show done.  There is no problem with the wireless but the priotities had to shift for the moment. I will be back on it as soon as the Express and the show is done.

No,

RJ,
  you said that the new Freestyles will have the wireless DMX will they also have the lights normalization?  I like the idea of wireless DMX that way I dont have to get cat5 cable but i also would liek to use both LED and standard lights with dimming.  thanks
