This unit recieves DMX 512 data and Analogue (0- 10v) data and uses these to phase angle control mains output. Features: DMX 512 data Input. Analogue (0- 10v )DC Input. 4 Output channels. Remotley programmable Interally saved Presets. 3 Modes of operation Digital Lighting Data, Aanlogue Lighting Data and Internal Presets. 3 Dimming Curves ( Linear , S Curve and Switch ). DMX recieve address set on Dip switches from 1 - 512. 7 seg Display shows operation mode, DMX base address and preset being used. Designed to operate on 240Vac @ 50Hz. Auto tracks mains frequency.

The Designed is based on the microchip Pic device. The Pic used is the 16F870 a 28 Pin device. running at 20Mhz.
The dimming pack controls the power comming out bu enploying phase angle control of the mains.
The schematics shows the circuit used for the main board, The display boardis shown here with an explanition here.
The Code in the Pic is here and Explained here.

The Eagle generated Schamatics, Asembley code and Hex file are all contained with in the Zip File Here .
Update Oct 2003 - Circuit Digram problem found please add a 10K resistor from each Analogue input to the Pic To Ground. This is required to discharge the internal capasistor in the PIC A2D the Cicruit Diagram has been updated.
Update Nov 2003 - New circuit Diagram Draw with Eagle schematics added and new Asembley code added with basic / Advaranced display option.
Also To Come soon - A 12Channel Based Lighting Control Based in a 19" Rack unit with LCD display.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
