Velleman interface problems??
« on: September 20, 2009, 09:13:25 AM »
Hey all, I'm new to the Forum. I have purchased a DMX512 interface from Velleman
but do not quite understand how it works? Had intended to use it with a RGB
laser with 10 channels and with the supplied software DMX-Lightplay. have done
as it says in the manual for the laser, "If you turn 10 to OFF the device is in
DMX mode. Set the DMX address and connect the device to a controller". I have
set 10 to off and 1 to on is this right?? or should I leave all dip-switch at
off.

And do I need a DMX terminator? I use none now.

Not sure about your first problem however you should get a terminator- you can buy them (I got mine on eBay) or alternatively you can do the soldering yourself. Getting this will stop any data error and it only costs a couple of quid so in the long run its definitely worth it.  :)
