DMX-relay decoder boards from LVP/LSP

[dave]

New to the collection, we have a DMX to 8 relay decoder - DMX8r. I haven't had a chance to do up a manual for this one yet, but has a fail-safe mode making it suitable for laser use, and the relays are rated for 10A @ 240V.. $165AUD plus shipping - around $100USD give or take a little



This adds to the other boards we sell here:

We are planning on expanding the range over the next few months to include a high power DMX- PWM board, a rc servo board and some other potentially useful boards.. I'm debating doing a analogue GM20 driver board..

Hey Dave! -

...and the relays are rated for 10A @ 240V.. $165AUD plus shipping - around $100USD give or take a little

Very nice! Its' baby-brother, the DMX01R, looks perfect for an old-skool turbo-fan we like - to - DMX-control project - yes, I know that there are DMX-fans - we have 2, but we wanna convert these other ones that we like, and this little board will be great! - Especially now that it truly seems like our old resource, LSI-One, has finally gone the way of the dodo-bird... And on-off, for these, will be fine, I don't think we'd need to wait for the 'PWM' for speed...(but it's good to know you'll have it...

Couple tech-??s - it looks to me, like these would have to be at the end of our 'daisy-chain'? (...at least I am not seeing any provision for DMX-thru?...)

Also, if these are 10A @ 240V, we should be able to run 20A @ 120V - but will this relay pass 120V or only 240?

Lastly, are you thinking-of making / do you make any DMX - DC relay boards? (...and yes, I already saw the DMX-TTL board - very nice!

I'm debating doing a analogue GM20 driver board..

DO IT!!! DO IT!!! DO IT!!! Like I said, LSI-One seems to be no-more (I have to call later to verify, but the site-status is not very encouraging....) so I can tell you, you've already got one customer!

Lemme know....
peace...

Its just a matter of wiring a DMX out in parallel with the DMX in - If it is at the end of a chain, a terminating resistor should be used

Also, if these are 10A @ 240V, we should be able to run 20A @ 120V - but will this relay pass 120V or only 240?

I just looked at the data sheet and these relays don't state the ratings at 110v.. They are available with 16A/250V contacts, and logic states either relay should handle more current at a lower voltage..

Lastly, are you thinking-of making / do you make any DMX - DC relay boards? (...and yes, I already saw the DMX-TTL board - very nice!

These will work with DC voltages.. A relay is just a switch

DO IT!!! DO IT!!! DO IT!!! Like I said, LSI-One seems to be no-more (I have to call later to verify, but the site-status is not very encouraging....) so I can tell you, you've already got one customer!

Maybe we will then! Perhaps a 8 channel GM20 driver board, with damping?

Cheers, Dave

if you guys have anything else you'd like to see, please do chime in and let us know.

Why not make it with solid state relays? They are way more reliable and have a faster activation time.

Also, how bout a board for checking analogue lasers that provides a 0-5V output with a digital readout. I know that would be useful!

What to stop someone using the TTL board with solid state relays
