The build photos in the manual just got a whole lot better. 

A big thank you to mokeefe!

Just a quick followup to my earlier beta test post. 

I built the modified EX/RX board and attached it to the DMX Tester. It performed flawlessly with one of my LE's setup with wireless.  I didn't try it at any significant distance, but within the same room it worked fine.

This is why I want to try to find something that will take a base pdf (as opposed to a dxf/dwg) and add graphics to it.

Any new developments on this? It would be very cool to post a collection of these in the wiki for download.

Will the case being offered in the coop already be machined with the proper cutouts?

I believe Mike is looking into that. However, it may not be cost effective. Not sure yet.

If we don't go that way, there has been some templates posted earlier in this thread that will help in cutting them yourself.

Yeah, I know about the templates. It's just hard (for me, anyway) to make the cutouts even close to the quality of a machined piece. If it's too expensive or time consuming we can live with the manual cutouts.

Unfortunately, Serpac has a $300 tooling charge; in quantity 50, the machined cases would have been $20 each; I can get the cases for under $5 from Mouser

Mike,

Any plans on looking into a Pixel Net version?  I know it couldn't be done on this one due to limitation on the display charters (3) for DMX 512 limit.

I don't know if they are wired, but there are three decimal points that could be used to give you a binary representation of which of the eight E1.31 blocks you are in.
