This Modification is for connecting up the Lynx Express Wireless Module (EX/RX) to other Controllers instead of using the stand alone receiver.

Currently Applies to the Following Controlles:

  • Freestyle
  • MR-16
  • SSR4-DMX
  • possible other controllers but its untested

Directions

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 them 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 then 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 MR-16 case or 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.
