With the ColorSource Relay, you have everything you need to control your lights wherever you want to put them.

You also want to set the universe and channel for the relay. Here is where you need to make a decision… You will also need a “D1 Mini Relay Shield”, which again you can find through a variety of online retailers. D1 Mini Relay Shield Simply connect hard-wired DMX (Multiverse SHoW Baby or Multiverse Node) or sACN (Multiverse Transmitter) to automatically send wireless DMX to any ColorSource Relay Multiverse Receiver within a 100-meter (328-foot) range. Take them out, plug themattachInterrupt(0, PinA, RISING); // set an interrupt on PinA, looking for a rising edge signal and executing the "PinA" Interrupt Service Routine (below) City Theatrical Multiverse wireless DMX is a powerful addition to the ColorSource Relay system. Multiverse couples efficient use of radio energy with intelligent management of DMX signal broadcasting to create a resilient and far-reaching wireless pinMode(pinA, INPUT_PULLUP); // set pinA as an input, pulled HIGH to the logic voltage (5V or 3.3V for most cases) railSwitch offers a pre-set mode that enables it to run stored programmes without an active DMX controller. Other features include data loss mode (which determines what railSwitch should do in the event of loss of the DMX signal) and test mode, which is particularly useful during commissioning.

You have almost unlimited E1.31 Universes, so the most straightforward way to do this if you are going to use multiple relays is just to use a Universe for each one. So “Relay 1” might be Universe 1, “Relay 2” would be Universe 2. You would just set “universe = 1”, and “channel=0” Channel 0 translates to “Red” on many light controllers, or it will actually be called “Channel 1”. Internally it is 0 though, which can be a bit confusing. Jumper selectable as DMX "sense" relay. When good DMX in, relay is closed, no DMX and the relay is open. After you launch it, you need to add the ESP8266 board configurations to it. This is pretty easy- just open up Arduino -> Preferences and look for: It’s been proven to work better in crowded wireless environments, so your signal can get through no matter where you are. To use these to toggle “dumb” lighting and other elements- set up their universes and channels in your sequencing software (like xLights), and sequence them accordingly. Remember that by default- if Channel 1 (Red) is below 127 (50%) the relay will be OFF, and above 127 it will be ON.

Northlight's Relay board will receive DMX512 digital protocol and standard 0-10 VDC analog to control mechanical relays. Auto Mode (default) - switches on when DMX/RDM signal is detected; switches off after signal is no longer detected Once you have finished editing things, you are ready to upload your Sketch to the D1 Mini. Plug it into your computer using a Micro-USB cable. You might see a brief flash of a blue LED next to the WiFi antenna, but otherwise not much will happen. Again- if there are any errors, Google is your friend. If you don’t see anything, or nothing but gibberish in the Serial Monitor- be sure it is set to the same “baud” (speed) as the D1 Mini. In my case- I set both to “115200”. You set the speed of the D1 Mini in the Board Configuration section in the Arduino IDE Tools menu. You can change the BAUD of the Serial Monitor using the drop-down option at the bottom of the window. DMX is based on the RS-485 serial interface standard. Typically, three-pole XLR plugs are used for cable connections.

Both the Multiverse SHoW Baby and ColorSource Relay require minimal setup and zero programming before use. Priority mail outside the USA is usually 5-7 days to the destination country. Then it goes to that countries customs and then their postal service.There are other “DMX” or “E1.31” test apps available for Windows, Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android, etc. Once you have things working, you probably want to install your relay into some kind of a box. Here is what I did… First- replace “MyWiFi_SSID” with your WiFi network name (the WiFi network you are running your show from.) Be sure to keep the quotes. RelayPin (Pin8) is a signal pin going to the Relay Module to be switched on and off through the light board by raising the level above 20(out of a possible 255). Reading DMX telegrams for further processing in the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM (e.g., switching hall illumination from DMX light control console) One big thing- be sure you have a Micro-USB cable that supports DATA! Many are charging-only and don’t have the data wires. You may need to try a few cables!
