DMX-CONTROLLED RELAY SWITCH

This Kit allows you to control a relay by means of the well-known DMX512 protocol. This protocol was developed by USITT in 1986 to control dimmers, scanners, moving-head spots and other lighting devices with a simple wiring.
In some cases, a simple ON/OFF selection is desired. This is where this K8072 comes in. It is actually a bus-controlled power driver. The relay will be activated when the DMX value of the set channel equals 140 or more and turns off when the value is 120 or less.

Together with our K8062/VM116, a computer-controlled automation will be very easy to build.

1 CHANNEL DMX CONTROLLED POWER DIMMER

This kit allows you to control a lamp or group of lamps through a DMX signal. The DMX protocol was developed by USITT in 1986 with the purpose of controlling dimmers, scanners, moving heads and other lighting devices with simple wiring. It is mainly being used in theatres and discos, but you can use it in any place where a central or automated lighting is needed.
Use our "USB controlled DMX interface" K8062 (kit version), VM116 (built version) or any other control console compliant with the DMX-512 protocol as a controller.

20 second voice recorder/playback module (A93010/A96010)

PLEASE NOTE: A96010 or A93010 is supplied depending on availability. Currently only A93010 is available and is the one that is been sold. A96010 is not currently available. The small size is because the IC is in Chip-on-board form. One button is pushed down to record the message. The electret microphone is on the board. The LED turns on during this time. The other button just has to be momentarily pressed to replay the message. A second momentary press during playback will stop the playback. Sampling rate is 4K. All you have to add is the speaker (not included) and 5V DC power (not included). The record play time is determined by the 52K resistor. If you change it to 89K you will get 30 seconds but at a reduced sampling rate. Operating current 25mA. Standby current 10 uA. Size: 34 x 23 x 11 mm. The module comes supplied as you see it in the photo.

OPTIONAL ITEMS (Not included):
2 x (BB089) connector cable to connect the voice recorder to a speaker and power source.
1 x (PB244) Speaker
1 x Battery holder that can hold either 4 x AAA or 4 x AA or 4 x C or 4 x D cells. See our battery holders.
