Connection tips #
Colors managment depends on Chip LED organisation.
CAUTION : Some LED Strips are RGB, others are GRB…, and others in 4 channels. Keep that in minde while you create your Patch.
Although the board uses one DMX universe, normally 170 Pixels in RGB and 128 Pixels in RGBW, the board repeats the signal tso that the equivalent of 5 DMX universes can be used in LED Strips (850 RGB LED or 640 RGBW LED).
Mode #
Dip Switch 10 allows to choose the Pixel type to manage, 3 channels per pixel or 4 channels per pixel:
- Dip Switch 10 => ON : 3 CHANNELS PER PIXEL ( RGB, GRB, BGR, BRG, …)
- Dip Switch 10 => OFF : 4 CHANNELS PER PIXEL ( RGBW , GRBW, …)
Dip Switch 11 and 12 allow to choose 4 different modes:
- Dip Switch 11 => OFF, Dip Switch 12 => OFF : Direct Mode from DMX address chosen without Pixel multiplication.
- Dip Switch 11 => OFF, Dip Switch 12 => ON : Direct Mode from DMX address chosen with a doubling of pixels
- Dip Switch 11 => ON, Dip Switch 12 => OFF : Direct Mode from DMX address chosen with a threefold increase of pixels
- Dip Switch 11 => ON, Dip Switch 12 => ON : Program Mode on 12 channels.
Channel 1 allows to choose the program.
Program 1: Value 0 to 15.
