Conductor Beta Finishes

[deweycooter]

You said it will do pixelnet, but what about dmx?

That is my question too.

I figure it will since the  etherdongle can handle 2048 channels of dmx, I just wanna be sure.

The first post in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login said it would handle 4 DMX universes with different firmware, not sure if that still applies, but if so, the active hub would not be needed.

The current firmware is PixelNet only. The DMX firmware has not been created. I wanted to get a final firmware for the conductor and slave before modifing it to be DMX.

The Slave firmware will be next, then the DMX firmware for both. All runs on the same hardware.

Thanks to everyone on this great accomplishment !!

Thanks RJ!!  I know we all, including myself appreciate the dedication and hard work you and the other members put into designing and testing these things for us to play with!!

Slave and Conductor hardware are one-and-the-same? 

Does that mean that the slave has (but does not use) the mp3 player?
That is good info to know before we sign up for the conductor (aka slave) coop.

IIRC, the slave is a scaled down conductor.  I don't think that it has the MP3 player.

Rj states it is the same hardware. Are you saying the slave does not use the MP3 player or does not have the MP3 portion of the circuit?

The main question is...

Should we buy an extra conductor in conductor coop if we plan to use it as a slave so we are ready when the slave firmware is released or is the slave hardware different?

The Slave firmware will be next, then the DMX firmware for both. All runs on the same hardware.

It is not the same for the Conductor and Slave.

It is the same for pixelnet / DMX which is what is being discussed in the post.

can i get on list to beta test slave

[dpitts]

Thanks for the clarification.

can i get on list to beta test slave

The beta testers are already in place.

But thanks for offereing!

Just a couple of questions, 1) What is the connection point on the ED? 2) Will it fit inside the case of the ED? Sorry if this info was available previously and I couldn't find it. Can we see pic's of the unit?

[rrowan]

The large header on the right side of the board (opposite of the rj-45 connector)

Yes inside the case

Thanks for clearing that up for me so i don't blindly join the coop without unknowingly not being able to use it.
Depending on the price I may go ahead and get on the coop with the hopes of the DMX firmware being released before this season.
Thanks for all the hard work to you and all of our beta testers for putting up with all our ranting about it being released
