That is correct. LE is the Lynx Express and found over at diylightanimation.com.
It's a light controller that uses the DMX data protocol to communicate from the PC to the controller instead of the LOR/d-light data protocol. The physical connections look the same but electrically and data wise they ARE different. One exception is the LOR product which can sense DMX vs LOR protocol but the cable wiring on the DMX side is just a little different. The cost per channel with a Lynx product is significantly lower than commercial products because YOU build it. The DMX protocol can also be used to operate very fancy light and mechanical devices as well. It is used by all professional stage lighting companies to run all those wild light shows at concerts. |

co-op I believe is a group buy so you get a better price. Kind of like what PC people with CDI led-presale without the price adjustment but since CDI requires you to buy a case. You need 6, I need 6, we buy a case together.
LE are the DMX boards I think Edited by ChrisL1976 - 15 Jan 2010 at 2:05pm |

This might be a stupid question but I will ask it anyway, What are LE's and coops?

For some reason I don't see how it can harm anything if we were to know what USB-DMX dongle Aurora might be utilizing. Doesn't seem that it would reveal any secrets in the workings of Aurora. For those of us that are either thinking of DMX or pursuing the LE coop it would insure that we'd not be wasting $'s and maintaining compatability. Can't see the value in obtaining a USB-DMX dongle just to test the LE's if it's not going to function with Aurora.

Hey, what is the benefit of running DMX? I am trying to see if there is a reason for me to run it? Currently I am doing just d-light boards and it seems to be okay. what are the added benefits to the DMX aspect and how does it relate too Christmas Lighting?
Sorry not a newb to lighting but am to DMX. |

Since Michael had us all sign a NDA form when we agreed to be better testers, We legally cant say anything that goes on in the beta test forum. I know....hiding behind the paperwork. PM Deweycooter, I think Michael and him talked about what can be made public on the DIY forum. Edited by ChrisL1976 - 14 Jan 2010 at 10:17am |

OK Beta-Guys..... I know Michael is on vacation, but I want to get in on the LE coop. But before I do, what is the likelyhood that Aurora will reveal DMX this year?
Tick, tick, tick..... coop ends tomorrow. :)

I'm signed up for 6 LE's in the current coop, so I am also very interested in getting Aurora working with them. I intend to run them with the wireless add-on.
