WIRELESS DMX PROJECT UPDATE

[RJ]

Demoed the wireless at the Georgia Mini. Including the Standalone receiver (RX). Worked very well.  Got the chance to put in in the front yard with the Transmitter in the tent in the back yard with the house and trees between. Worked perfect.

Yes that explains the new flurry of people to the board... Me included. I was totally sold during the presentation and was super sold when tested around the yard with the MR16's running wireless from the backyard transmitter.

I showed Tara (my wife) the video ..all she had to say was "I had better not be in there"  LOL

we had a blast, and it was so cool to Lynx in action 

there was discussion on another thread with hillside ... the lot we were on slopes about 6 feet from where the RX was to the TX, so we were going up hill about 6 feet all together.

we also had wireless 5.4 and some 2.4 stuff in the area.  As well as several live FM transmissions.

not much of an incline but still noteworthy

Just a quick update here.   

Finished assembling a beta setup...    LE receiver and transmitter. 

Plugged into one LE.......      FULL SUCCESS!!!!!!!!
The wireless Does work.........       Highly recommend using the premachined casing vs attempting to cut the cases yourself.   The couple extra dollars will be well worth it.

Ok I have a setup to allow you to use the cheaper EX/RX module in SSR4's and Freestyles.  It will cost you an additional $1.11 to do it above using one in the Express.

It is simple and I will be posting about it soon. You can only run the unit you put it in as it will not have an output on the SSR4 and freestyle to run other items.

First you need a mouser PN# 535-08-600-10 and then solder three small wires to pin #1,5 & 8 as shown on the attached picture. Then attach them to the Express Receiver Module by sticking the through the front in the holes as shown where the 4 pin headers go.  Do not put wires on the other pins the pic has them to give reference to which pin is which.  ( the picture is looking at the top of the module).

You would leave the two 4 pin headers off the module and not solder them on.

Then using a good quality Double sided tape after cleaning the surfaces you stick the receiver module into the top of the SSR4 case or the freestyle case and plug the adapter into the RS 485 chips socket with it removed. Make sure pin one is plugged into pin 1.

Presto! you have $20 wireless in these devices.

I have not tested it but it will work just fine.
