I have these dongles and 2X DMX36 and Vixen, Pi running FPP and they work GREAT! Really nice quality boards and the DMX dongle just works.

Grab a mbeat 7 port USB hub for power and a Hanson DmX Open dongle and u will be good to go

:) Thanks mate

I got this one a few weeks ago from here... Happy with it... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281048698915?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Nice! So can I daisy chain from USB485 to 1-4 controllers and tell FPP its 64 channels? How do we then address the LOR 1-64 when sequencing? I have about 300 channels on DMX also, so would I be better off making up a cable to suit and changing all LOR to DMX? Edited: Got it! Easy as...

please email to me at Thanks heaps!

Ok, I think the newer LOR boards could have green. Mine are way old. Good news. So in theory you could now communicate with the board via say Hardware utility and test using Light Console. Try this with just one LOR board connected first. Then add one more and get constant led etc..

Some good info here.. http://auschristmaslighting.com/wiki/LOR_Adapters I think you might need another DMX dongle like the ones Alan @ Hanson sells. You can run the LOR USB 485 and this DMX USB dongle at the same time. One will talk to the LOR and the DMX item will talk to the DMX type items...

Try restart pc and LOR unit and see if you get constant red light on the board?

Questions: 1. Did you have the LOR Control Panel icon (little red one) in your taskbar and is it set to "Launch at Startup"? 2. Does you dongle have lights on it that flash to tell you its working?

MM Electrical or one of their agents? Ask for Trade price maybe...

Nice work! Great blog mate

Thanks for the info on these guys! I am getting some to test for next year so I will let you know how they go in the Perth heat! Cheers

:) OMG! I would like to know what our resident experts say is the best way to achieved this too! I will be watching this thread closely...

Thanks team! I have had some excellent help already! Also, just ordered 1x DMX36 from Alan to manage a few elements more in my show! Pictures will follow by early December. At the moment its taking up 3 rooms in my house.. :P
