PIC18F Based 6 Channel DMX Transmitter

Step 5 Finish Up The Electronics

Finish up the circuit as per the schematic and give it a good look over before applying any power.

Program the PIC18F24J10 in a programmer or with ICSP if you included it.

Before continuing to the enclosure, it should be tested on a DMX Device.

- Flip all the transmitters DIP Switches down or leave DIP1 up and the rest down, its the same address.
- Set DIP1 on the DMX Device, rest off. Even 10, which is a special function switch on most devices.
- Plug an XLR into the devices "DMX In" jack, which is male.
- Plug the other end of the XLR into the transmitter circuit.
- Most commercial DMX devices have an indicator light, which should begin to flash.
- Try out the potentiometers see if they are working.

If both the device and transmitter are set to the same DMX address, then Pot1 will control the first address slot on the device.

Sorry, how can I connect the male XLR port?
Anyway, this is a very interesting project! Can I buy a KIT with the components? ;)
Thanks!
Sorry for my bad english.. I'm Italian! :D
