[QUOTE="Baf05, post: 29731, member: 5612"] Oh Dear God, help!!! I have read, read, read, I have printed (thanks to work) out and read. The when I was confused, I read some more, but still it seems that as I sit here, I am more confused than ever... ....I am a hands on person, if I have the stuff I can usually muddle my way through, but I can even figure which why to go... I think I understand DMX, the best as it looks like I plug a "dongle" in to my computer, buy a PC board, and a power supply, down load the software and attach my LEDs and I should have some control?... But then I look at the E1.31 stuff, and know that this is the way to go (if I can learn some computer speak) But I get really confused... What I would like to do, is start with led strings (as I have many, many many, LED lights), turning them off and on at my whim, I have some pretty cool ideas for effects that I think I could obtain stealing some ideas from my other hobby (photography, why oh why does one choose hobbies that are so dam expensive), and I think DMX would suit this perfectly. But I want to future proof myself, because I know that I will move into RGB as time and finances allow... ....Could someone please, please, please, take the time to put together a list of things a first timer should buy to start a basic display. I think I need, Software, as can be found on this site this PC board [url=https://www.audiovisualdevices.com.au/viewprod.php?catid=&productid=DC48]https://www.audiovisualdevices.com.au/viewprod.php?catid=&productid=DC48[/url] or similar this "Dongle" [url=https://www.audiovisualdevices.com.au/viewprod.php?catid=&productid=USB485RJ-ISO]https://www.audiovisualdevices.com.au/viewprod.php?catid=&productid=USB485RJ-ISO[/url] and this power supply, [url=http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/350W-Dual-Output-Switching-Power-Supply-88-264VAC-input-5V-350W-output-CE-and-ROHS-approved/701799_289599937.html]http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/350W-Dual-Output-Switching-Power-Supply-88-264VAC-input-5V-350W-output-CE-and-ROHS-approved/701799_289599937.html[/url] I would like to go the E1.31 direction, but I can't "see" how to go that direction.... Any help, would be great appreciated, and my even result in me buying you a beverage or too, subject to travel constrains, (living in Canberra is clearly going to help) Merry Christmas!

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
