USB/DMX512 Converter

Housed inside an XLR connector!

Published in issue 357, September 2006

USB/DMX512 Converter
All amateur disc jockeys and light jockeys dream about it: a DMX512 converter not bigger than an XLR connector! But at a retail price of more than 500 pounds for this type of accessory, the dream may never come true. Here is a project that will make some on the dance floors very happy... the DMX converter of their dreams and for only a few pounds.
