minaayindra Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I am only on my second year of doing these shows and I managed to lose a lot of my smaller hardware this year... I was trying to remember which USB controller I had (I remember it was an enhanced version but that doesn’t help too much)! I now have 22 controllers going with mostly LED lights, as well as numerous sequences. I tried looking at comparison charts between everything but some say 500k and up, others 250k but “might” go higher, etc. and I really don’t know what any of this means. I am powering a display off my main desktop which covers about 200 ft in the front and two sides directions. Anyone that can answer this, I would be truly grateful. It’s time to start and I can’t even find the basics! :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Firstly, Welcome to the Forums There are only 2 USB to RS485 Adapters. More than likely with that many controllers you had a Red HiSpeed adapter. Even if you didn't for $2.00 more it would be worth it to get the HiSpeed adapter. Here is a link to both and a primer about what the adapters do. Alan...

minaayindra Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thanks Alan- I went ahead and ordered the old RS485D and the HS as well. SURELY, I can make it work with one of them! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
