The secret Aurora lab in Area 51 has been busy with a lot of code for the next release, version 1.2, which is currently planned for mid-September.  This next release will introduce native support for DMX within Aurora.  There is also another secret bonus in this release which all of you will enjoy, DMX user or not.  Sorry, no hints are available just yet.
 
More specifics on how Aurora will support DMX will be made known as we approach the release data.
 
In the meantime, for our own planning purposes, I would like to know how many of you are planning to use DMX with Aurora this year?  Taking a moment to answer the poll above will help us better prepare for our next DMX announcement.

I voted no for the simple reason I have no DMX items in my home. Should I know what Aurora would bring me using DMX items, I would've voted differently. With that in mind, I want to thank LOL (not laughing out loud but lightonlogan) and the beta testers for bringing us a very good product. Aurora as well as D-Light boxes, a light show it creates.

I agree with BigDPS in that I don't have any DMX and have no clue as to what Aurora can do with it so I voted No also. I would like to also echo what he said as far as the job everone has done with respect to Aurora and D-light. I am anxiously waiting for the release of the full version like a child waits for Christmas morning.

I was hoping for a little earlier release date to try and put some lasers in my show but if I have learned anything is not to underestimate the amount of time it takes to get some of these things going.  I want to be running Dec 1st  so hopefully this will be a smooth release.  I think you guys are doing a great job and look forward to the challenge.

I hope to put 2 Renard 24's very soon. They can use DMX. I will probably rely on my dlight boxes for now, but hope to try out Aurora's DMX cababilities when I get the new boxes built. I am hoping to just add a output port to Auora and mix both the dlight boxes and Renard boxes. I hope Aurora will be capable of sorting out the channels and sending the outputs to each port, DMX or Dlight, as needed.

I too voted no only because I haven't decided if I want to jump into the DMX money pit yet. I'd sure like to play with it and having the capability will be nice if and when I start taking the leap.
 
I'll just echo the notes about the great job that's being done with Aurora and that I'll be anxiously awaiting any enhancements and improvements in any upcoming releases. Always looking for ways to push the envolope just a little more with the current hardware

I have DMX foggers that I use at Halloween. I am looking forward to having a way to tie them in to the light show rather than having to manually trigger them.  BRING IT ON!!!!Clap

I voted yes because I bought some DMX light devices from a couple failed nightclub auctions. Most controllers coming out now have DMX capablity. Also found some Automation servo devices that can be controlled with DMX
