Recently I designed a small controller with P-DMX (power + DMX over CAT5) input that can drive 25x 5V pixels or alternatively 5x 5V small R/C servos. The development thread is here.
Features:
The same board can be used for 25-pixel or 5-servo mode. It's just a matter of using a PicKit to load the correct firmware. I will pre-load the version you want before sending out. I've only made up an initial batch of 10, but more will be available soon. ACL member price is $33 including GST.
These boards can be found on the AVD web site here.
Features:
- Compact size 50.8mm x 50.8mm (2" x 2")
- 3mm mounting hole in each corner
- P-DMX in/loop via 2x RJ45 sockets
- 2 way terminal block for alternative DC input
- Jumper to disconnect P-DMX power
- Current overload protection
- Jumper for DMX termination
- Socketed MAX485 chip
- On-board 5V 1.5A regulator to power 25 pixels
- 12V - 35V input voltage range
- 4 way plug-in pixel connector
- 5x 3 pin headers for servos (not shown in picture)
- DIP switch for address & 2801/6803 mode select
- Status LED
