Congratulation for your successful mod !
Where bought you this lap 16032 with an ASIC model of 0924 ?

Best Regards

I’ve been messing about with this off and on for a couple of years now – I’ve got an old Tektronix oscilloscope that won’t capture a signal so there’s been a lot of guessing ( mostly incorrect ). I picked up a few 36 KHz receivers from Digikey ( P/N 425-2511-ND – Sharp # GP1UE260RKVF) – these work well with the magicquest wands
Thanks again.

It seems like RS232 ports are often kind of arbitrary on whether they mean “This RX is the device’s RX”, or “Connect the other guy’s RX here, because this is the device’s TX”. Huh?

Well it’s good to hear that you’re up and DMXing. If you don’t mind, would you link to a pic where you show the wiring that worked? Breadboard, lash-up, or otherwise messy is totally fine! Our crystal ball tells us that if the OSEPP board grows in popularity, this is not the last time someone’s going to run in to this problem – and your pain (sorry) is going to reduce the pain of others duplicating your work.

Again, congrats.. And that slim PAR looks pretty nice – lot of rich color tones from that thing.

I plugged it in to my light when I got home and fixed the pins.. voila! Let there be flashing colored DMX Slimn PAR! Let the trouble commence!
