Shubb Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You will have fun mapping out the DMX address's now that you are on your way. When I ordered pre-assigned floods they were lower DMX address's. (7, 11, 15, 23 ect.)So if you can set the starting address of the renard board you can probably make it with 1 universe.

strungUP Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 From what I understand, the Renards address will have to be set on the first pic(?) with a pic programmer. If anyone knows where to get one of those cheap let me know. Now I am looking at those 27 channel DC controllers that Ray has. Maybe 8 50 RGB bulb strings in the 8 rose bushes out front? This never stops does it? I'm sure you heard the song, "It never rains in California, it pours". Well that song was true today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad02 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Great information here, thank you. After reading all this is there any way to run the LOR network and convert it to DMX in the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strungUP Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Just an update, I have 5 coro floods built using the 3 channel coro controllers and a Ray Wu 27 channel rgb board and all is working fine in DMX. I also purchased a Renard SS24 Kit which I have assembled but I forgot to get the DMX code flashed on it, (actually I didn't know that LOR didn't speak Renardian) So I am looking for a PIC programmer to flash DMX firmware so I can see if my first hand soldered board is any good. Just like to say thanks to all who helped me. I am currently building a 288 LED crowd blinder from 6 ebay 48 led 12v panels for cars. 6 panels should fit inside of a standard 500 watt Halogen light and I plan to control it with DMX. When I purchased the advanced LOR software, it was cheaper if you got the starter pack which gets you a LOR 485 adapter and a Cat5 cable AND a discount on the software. Thanks again everyone. Off to find a PIC programmer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
