DMX-512 LED Controller with Display DMXLED-Display-01

Description: Designed to be compact and easy to use, this LED Controller is interfaced using a 3 digit LED display and 2 buttons. The buttons are used for Up/Down changes of the DMX address or to alter the stand-alone functions, the LED display shows the user the current address, speed or stand-alone. It can be set through the user controls, to accept 3 channels or 5 channels of DMX-512 data. The channel data is used to control Red, Green, Blue, for 3 channel mode . And Red, Green, Blue, Shutter, Strobe in 5 channel mode. The user can select what the device will do if it looses signal or has no signal(stand-alone). Such as, hold last color, color cycle, flash, or blank LED outputs. Cycle and Flash have user seleced speed control. The TTL Outputs can be used in conjuction with various constant current regulators and output boards. See pg. 4

DMX Channel Values: Channel Function Value Explaination Channel 1 Red 0 - 255 Red Value, 0 is Off, 255 is Maximum Channel 2 Green 0 - 255 Green Value, 0 is Off, 255 is Maximum Channel 3 Blue 0 - 255 Blue Value, 0 is Off, 255 is Maximum Channel 4* Shutter 0 - 255 Scales channels 1-3 Linearly, 0 is off 255 is Maximum Channel 5* Strobe 0 - 10 Strobe is Off 11 - 255 Strobes at 1hz - 10hz, uses the data from channels 1 - 4 *Only when set to 5 channel mode When set to 5 channel mode, Channel 4 has to be more than 0 or no LEDs will light

Stand Alone: Channel Displayed Value No Data nil Fade 0 - 255 Flash 0 - 255 Select 0 - 255 Hold nil

Explaination Outputs blank, waits for DMX Data Smoothly Cycles through R-G-B Spectrum, 0 -255 is speed Flashes through Preset Colors, 0 - 255 is speed Selects a Color based on a number 0 - 255 Holds last received color DMX Data til it recieves new data.

Menu Navigation - Pressing the a single button once will cycle the value up or down. In Fade and Flash Mode the value affects the Speed. In Color Select it alters the output color. When DMX signal is present the address can be changed. - Pressing both buttons at the same time quickly, will cycle throught the stand-alone mode. - Pressing both buttons and holding will enter the menu. Here the number of channels can be selected and weather the display stays on or turns off can be selected. Once in the Menu, Button 1 will cycle through options and Button 2 will make the selection.

Stand Alone Modes: Press Both Buttons at Same Time
