Thank you for pointing that out, i have updated the comment section to show the buch converters. They are quite small and can not handle alot of load but they work great just driving the wemos.
Yes you could. The only limiting factor is you would have to stay under 4 universes which is 2048 channels. Was just thinking about making a wifi enabled dmx plug the other day, that would plug into the dmx in and allow you to hook up downstream dmx devices via standard dmx cables. Just need a clever solution to power it.
HI. Thanks for the great video. I assume if I just put this in a box with XLR connections I can daisy chain DMX fixtures as normal? Is the max number of channels 520 (512) per D1?
Yes you can daisy chain them. I know the espicelstick firmware can handle 4 universes of 512 channels. I would assume the same does for serial, but i cant find anyone that has had that many dmx devices to try it out. I know for sure it can handle 1 universe in serial mode. Might be worth a shot to push it past 1 universe and post the results here for others.
@@builditbetter5610 Thanks for replying. I have put this project on my to to-do list (which is growing rapidly since I recently discovered ESP8266 etc!) I work in pro-lighting for live music etc but on a budget, so once I get one put together I will try out a variety of fixtures/universes.
As always very good content. Very descriptive and educational. Great job man.
Thanks bud.
Great idea gonna try this this weekend!
Just curious... you don't seem to have listed your voltage converter part.... yours seems pretty small.

Wondering if you would have left the out dmx, if you could chain this to another device...?

You're just using sACN which lighting consoles use

@@crazyd7223 im still exploring what can be done with the esp8266 as well. Let me know if you need any help with future projects.
