Good board, here are some useful tips

Good quality sign. I had an issue with corrupted output that turned out to be a library issue with the DmxSimple library. If you use this library, make sure you put: pinMode(2,OUTPUT);digitalWrite(2,HIGH);into setting void setup() so that it is passed correctly. Or set pin D2 low for receive. It's just that dmxserial works fine with this library, but you cannot use the serial monitor functions with this library unless you have an Arduino Mega and have configured the library to use other serial ports for dmx. The sign works well, asked the salesman on the board for advice and there was definitely a language barrier but they were still keen to be helpful and provided useful information.

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • Will write later
