8CH DMX Relay Switch Dmx512 Controller Relay Output DMX512 Relay Control 8 Way Relay Switch(max 10A)

Product Information

attachInterrupt(0, PinA, RISING); // set an interrupt on PinA, looking for a rising edge signal and executing the "PinA" Interrupt Service Routine (below) railSwitch offers a pre-set mode that enables it to run stored programmes without an active DMX controller. Other features include data loss mode (which determines what railSwitch should do in the event of loss of the DMX signal) and test mode, which is particularly useful during commissioning. It’s been proven to work better in crowded wireless environments, so your signal can get through no matter where you are.

You have almost unlimited E1.31 Universes, so the most straightforward way to do this if you are going to use multiple relays is just to use a Universe for each one. So “Relay 1” might be Universe 1, “Relay 2” would be Universe 2. You would just set “universe = 1”, and “channel=0” Channel 0 translates to “Red” on many light controllers, or it will actually be called “Channel 1”. Internally it is 0 though, which can be a bit confusing. One big thing- be sure you have a Micro-USB cable that supports DATA! Many are charging-only and don’t have the data wires. You may need to try a few cables! You should use a separate show WiFi network, on a dedicated WiFi AP/Router. Don’t just add your light controllers to your home WiFi- you WILL have issues. I also recommend you set it up as a “hidden” network- look for a “Don’t Broadcast SSID” or similar option on your AP/Router. I have several of these that I use to toggle “dumb” display elements on and off. I also use them toggle my display PSUs on and off. I have a script in FPP that toggles everything on at the beginning of a playlist, and then off when it is finished (or when the scheduler stops it).

You also want to set the universe and channel for the relay. Here is where you need to make a decision… Note- an Amp is an Amp no matter what the voltage! A blade fuse and fuse holder are just fine in this case. UPDATE: There are other “DMX” or “E1.31” test apps available for Windows, Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android, etc. Once you have things working, you probably want to install your relay into some kind of a box. Here is what I did… Again- if there are any errors, Google is your friend. If you don’t see anything, or nothing but gibberish in the Serial Monitor- be sure it is set to the same “baud” (speed) as the D1 Mini. In my case- I set both to “115200”. You set the speed of the D1 Mini in the Board Configuration section in the Arduino IDE Tools menu. You can change the BAUD of the Serial Monitor using the drop-down option at the bottom of the window. If you have plenty of DMX ports, the hard-wired ColorSource Relay DMX is perfect to fine-tune your power distribution.

else if (reading == B00001000) aFlag = 1; //signal that we're expecting pinA to signal the transition to detent from free rotation What I really wanted was the ability to have my light show turn itself on and off. So- turn the system on just before playing my playlist, and then turn if off after the playlist (or scheduler) is done. To use these to toggle “dumb” lighting and other elements- set up their universes and channels in your sequencing software (like xLights), and sequence them accordingly. Remember that by default- if Channel 1 (Red) is below 127 (50%) the relay will be OFF, and above 127 it will be ON.That’s it- now you can go to Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager, and install the “ESP8266” boards. When done, you can select:
