We covered a DMX transceiver on EYE ON NPI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=X12v_qLC4-M) a few weeks ago, and after learning about how DMX works, we decided to make a DMX FeatherWing much like the MIDI 'Wing (https://www.adafruit.comproduct/4740). We'll need a chip, a hardware UART, and a couple of GPIOs. We'll also need two DIN connect…

Following up on our last Great Search for a DMX / XLR connector, our next step is to find a DMX transceiver. We started by looking at official and common DMX shields for Arduino since we know there's a ton out there, including the semi-official TinkerKit brand (https://web.archive.org/web/20140727121929/http://www.tinkerkit.com/dmx-master-shield/).…

The TM1814 LEDs we've been looking at this week require an inverted NeoPixel-like signal. While it's not too hard to make a custom library to deal with the prefix bytes, the inversion is a little annoying since you'd have to rewrite a lot of assembly. So, for our level shifter board we designed, let's also add an inverter: It will use 5V power and …
