About

We specialise in interactive hardware and software for stage equipment and digital artwork. In general we mostly do custom jobs but for already quite a while, however with a few off the shelf products we'd like to support hobbyist, home brewers and techies who'd like to take things into their own hands.

If you have ideas on how to improve our products or have ideas on what we should make available, don't hesitate to leave a message!

NEVER GET THE PRODUCT

For 2.5kV Isolated DMX 512 Shield for Arduino - R2

How can I review that product? I never received it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just received the 2 ordered Shields

For DMX Shield for Arduino (RDM Capable)

NOTE: The Tindie Review site forced me to rate Product, Documentation, and Communication for which I have no experience. I will rate them at a later date.

I just received the two units after waiting one month for delivery - fact, not complaint.

Good thing the cardboard box was well taped, the entire box was dripping wet and only held together by the clear packing tape. It was left by my door on a dry day so it must have gotten wet during shipping - it was thoroughly soaked ! The two Shields were packaged in heat sealed anti-static bags. Unfortunately, one of them leaked and the PCB and the foam the protruding leads were stuck in was dripping wet and some water poured out of the bag on opening - there seamed to be a very small hole in the bag where a pin had poked through.. The other Shield was bone dry. There was minimal corrosion on the wet Shield PCB which looked like the solder flux from the secondary hand soldering of the large connectors - cleaned up nicely with alcohol and I don't expect any issues. The dry one showed no signs of corrosion - only a little left over solder flux from the hand soldering process.

I am overall impressed with the boards and parts and heavily disappointed in the shipper which was China post and then USPS in the states. I think it was wet longer than the time it was in the states so probably got wet on the way from Shanghai where the package originated.

I will post more regarding the operation when I get this project rolling next month.

Great tool, does exactly what I want it to do.

For 2.5kV Isolated DMX 512 Shield for Arduino - R2

Purchased my first shield half a year ago, just recieved a second one. The shield does exactly what I want it to do: Send dmx signals to my light installations based on sensor signals processed by my arduino.

There wasn't really any documentation at all, and it took some time to get going with the correct arduino library (I'm very new to arduino), but after a week of fiddling it was doing what I wanted it to do.

All in all super satisfied.

DMX Shield Review

For 2.5kV Isolated DMX 512 Shield for Arduino - R2

Nice product, Quality and reliability AAA. You can select when order the XLR type 3 or 5 pins. We use this product for industrial purpose. We recommend to use Arduino like Leonardo or Mega with more than one serial port to be able to use monitor and programming port without problem. Jumper configuration are nice but in your final product it will be better to weld pins instead use jumper.

No way to have my DMX shield working

For 2.5kV Isolated DMX 512 Shield for Arduino - R2

I needed to use this shield on a DMX LED PAR in master mode.
I have tested with conceptic library and many Arduino (nano and mega).
No way to make it work: I have tested with all different positions on switches. (I have tested with DMXMaster library too)
I had the issue to upload the source code, that I have solved by unswitching UART and/or EN.
Code is going to arduino then I reswitch EN, Master and 2 other swith in UART mode and nothing hapened on DMX light.
My DMX PAR works well with address 4 at 255 (power) and 5 (RED) from 1 to 255 to light the RED leds. I have programmed this 2 address. On another hand, there is a small red light on the DMX PAR back. When we are speaking in DMX on the line from any source this led is blinking. With the DMX Shield it doesn't blink at all.
How could we step by step test this shield, because after 3 days investigation, I think the board isn't working.
When it works, I could buy many shield for Sound and Light shows.
If I can't run it, I will move to Raspberry with EMTEC USB.
