KStatefan Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Put out my DMX prop today. It has been working in my basement without issues. Today I moved it out side and can not get a dmx signal to the tiny pix. How far can I have my computer with actidongle from the tinypix controller? I have to cat5 cables that run from my basement to an outside box. Both cables work with my lor controllers but not the tinypix controllers.

zanclus Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I have a Tinypix about 60 feet from my Actidongle. It works just fine. I do have my power supply next to the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStatefan Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 I have a Tinypix about 60 feet from my Actidongle. It works just fine. I do have my power supply next to the controller. I am sure I am farther than 60 feet. The power supply and the controller is 3 feet from the first pixel. I am sure I am getting to much voltage drop on the signal coming from the actidongle. I will take a scope home from work over the holidays and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyph Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 FWIW, I have 2 actidongles supporting 7 tiny pix. First run length from actidongle to tinypix is 50 and 75 feet each respectively over cat5e and I haven't seen any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStatefan Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I never did get it to work but my E6804 kit came. I put it together and it is working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sax Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I don't have tinypix but from actidongle to first DMX 27 channel card is 100 feet. I have a beefier cat5 cable that is outdoor rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
