    Anyone with firsthand experience with DMX/RDM?

    I guess I'm a dummy....I've never heard of either. What is this?

      DMX (Digital MultipleX) is typically used for controlling lighting systems (theatrical, architectural, etc.). It's a protocol layered on an EIA485 network that allows a "controller" to talk to the various lighting elements. So, when you're lighting up a building, it provides a standardized way of "talking" to the various "lights" and controlling the "visual effects". For example:













      I.e., "light #24 display bluish-green at intensity 18; light #25 display greenish-yellow at intensity 74; light..."

      RDM (Remote Device Management) is a protocol enhancement that lets you collect status and configuration information from the devices.

      I'm looking for practical tips to avoid making careless errors that might "cost me" (the lighting fixtures are expensive)

        FWIW, attached is one such fixture in "test" mode (all LEDs lit, but at very low intensity). Unfortunately, camera gets confused when you shine a light in its face! Diddle-stick as a reference for scale (it's a bit over 12" long).

          Lithonia Lighting versus Light of America Compact Fluorescent product quality
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have a Lithonia Lighting 65-Watt Gray Hardwired Compact Fluorescent

          I also have back when Light of America had these light bulbs available for yard lights

          The issue with Light of America was the blast boards had all most certain board failure while bulbs hardly ever fail

          While the Lithonia lighting fixture has all most certain bulb failure

          So I have modified the Lithonia lighting fixture to accept the Light of America light bulb and see how long this will last

          I have only had this light fixture for not more than a year if it...

          LED lighting batten drivers
          by onextwo
          Hi,

          In my workshop I have 12 LED lighting battens and the some of the drivers have failed.

          In side there is 2 aluminium PCB with a 72 LED on each PCB as โ€˜current' Schematic.

          I am looking the get some constant current led driver to replace them.
          is it there any problem wiring as โ€˜option 1' Schematic or is it best as โ€˜option 2' Schematic.

          With option 2 I would have to modify the all PCBs, so a lot more work.

          Dell AC adapter - 1 wire protocol. How to initiate to check if adapter works.
          by Bogdan Kolybaba
          Hi all. Trying to troubleshoot issues with the Dell Laptop power supply (a lot of info here). Now I am waiting for a DC power Jack, as there is a loose contact. Want to check if the ID line of the adapter works - I have given abt 3.2 V to this line through the voltage divider, but can't see any signal on the oscilloscope. Same with the 100500% working AC adapter as well. How to initiate 1-Wire protocol transmission? As I understand, the circuit in the AC adapter should send a package for a while as soon as the supply comes to the SPID line. How to initiate this transmission correctly without...

          BK Precision model 1472C Oscilloscope Intensity problem ??
          by guizmo1967
          Hello,

          I have an old BK Precision model 1472C that is working but not the intensity ?

          At connector P309:
          Pin 1 +5V
          Pin 2 when I turn VR2, goes from +.648 to +5.07V
          Pin 3 GND

          R356
          Pin 1 when I turn VR2, goes from +.648 to +5.07V
          Pin 2 no matter how I turn VR2, voltage stays at +5.7V

          All the resistors around are good, except maybe R355 that reads 37K instead of 48K.

          I also would like to know what TC302 (capacitor trimmer) is used for, because when I turn it, nothing happened ???

          My wife is asking me about getting one because our electric bill was that it has ever been even more than last year at this time nothing has really changed since last year last month unless the electric company has done some fuel adjustment charges I have not done any investigation into yet but I might have to but there was a time back a few years ago that I use to set the temperature warm during the day when we were not home but when we got wooden floors in our house and you have to keep the humidity down to keep it from warping I just set to a temperature to 75*F to keep the humidity down but...
