    Dedicated Pixel based Strobe controller - do we need one?

    I think that all great minds think alike (or copy each other with enough time) A former member did/was going to do this, sounds like an easy good idea...

    DMX splitter

    I'm not going to continue to debate and debacle the fact that what "does" work and what is supposed to happen are two different things. Just because I could drive 120mph in my car doesn't mean I will. Most hobbiests don't have a few hundred to drop on a scope and would rather just have a...

    DMX splitter

    Going back to the OP's intented question: A DMX source in the middle of a LONG line of DMX cabling in either direction. This application requires a splitter. Or an additional few hundred feet of cabling. If you're up to soldering something yourself, you could make something for the $10 mark...

    Annoying Street Lights

    One story I've heard of and do not reccommend: User opened up access panel to streetlight, found simple wire running from power in ground to light up top, wired a switch in series, turns the light on and off at their choosing. Usual Disclaimer, none of these are smart ideas.
