dmx512 projects
Need DMX512 from your PC via the USB port? Go to www.enttec.com and check out the openDMXUSB project. Also useful for anyone wanting to do RS232 <> USB communication as there is plenty of open software for the PC software like VB6 etc. The USB to serial conversion is done with the FTDI232 chip. No software needed in the hardware only on the PC.
DMX512 is a standard protocol for lighting controls where you can control 512 channels(lamps) over the same wire(s) (RS485). Very simple to use, just do a Google for more info on DMX512.
