Or, if you would prefer a visual checklist:
Note: the XLR receptacles I bought are Neutrik’s premium “A” line, which they characterize as “State of the Art.” I was kind of curious about what that might be, so I bought them, but I’m sure you can use the everyday “AA” or “BA” series and save yourself a few bucks. The difference is–let’s say–subtle.
Here’s the schematic:
The Eagle board and schematic files are here. There’s also a 300dpi TIFF image file, if you’re ready to etch. Here’s some pictures of the front and back of the assembled board. If you buy header sockets with longer pins, you’ll be able to forgo soldering all those wires in to connect the bottom and top traces, which will make your life much easier.
Let me know how it works for you!
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your project. I would like to know if you have tested to connect the device in a net with another DMX-slave after yours. I mean, if you have had any problem in the DMX chain if your device is connected between the master an another slave, and messages go through your device.
Thanks again!
Shouldn’t be any special issues with connecting additional devices. As is true with DMX generally, every additional device in the daisy chain is an additional potential source of interference/issues, so it’s best to opto-isolate your runs by device type to the extent possible.
