I signed up for 2 LE's in order to experiment with them. I's like to try and get a usb-dmx dongle that Aurora will support in hopes to maximize my $$'s, hence my question about where and what usb-dmx dongle might we require in order to try and insure compatability and efficient spending?
 
Some the DIY dmx items are beginning to look like attractive alternatives. I'm also very interested in the dmx over ethernet and the possibilities it may hold for some of the crazier things I might want to try.

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.

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. :)

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. LOL   

PM Deweycooter, I think Michael and him talked about what can be made public on the DIY forum.

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.

Coming soon www.computerizedlights.com

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.

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

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
