Lynx Express / Express acting strange
« on: December 15, 2010, 07:33:10 pm »
This express has worked fine for the last 2 weeks and now it isnt working. The data stream is working as I have it wireless with cat 5 running to another board and the other board is working fine. Both lights 5v and 3.5 are lit up. I run the test and all the channels light up but when I run the sequence, their is no output. I have it on the correct channel as I have not changed anything. Any suggestions?

Sale/Trade / Would like to purchase a dongle

Hey guys, normally I would buy the board and build it but I just had a baby 8 weeks ago and now have 3 boys under 3 1/2. If anyone has an extra 2.0 dongle they want to sell,  I would greatly appreciate it. If not, guess I will have to make time to make the new one. Thanks in advance. I will pay full price.

Lynx Express / emergency emergency

I need help as soon as possible. I have 200 people outside my house for opening night and vixen is messed up now. Ran the show last night and all was fine, now when I press test channels it locks up, as well as when I try to run a sequence the song plays but nothing shows up in the preview.

Can someone please call me, I will pay 100.00 for a quick fix.

Lynx Wireless DMX / Will it work with
« on: December 03, 2010, 10:54:29 am »
Hey guys, just moved to Orlando and I cant find my pic programmer yet. Ron is sending me one of the new transmitters and I was wondering if it will work at all with my on board wireless Lynx's. I have the version 1.2 wireless boards and I also have some stand alone RX's.

Thanks

Lynx Express / 3.3 not lighting up nor the led panels, worked last year
« on: December 01, 2010, 06:55:59 pm »
Version 3 board, took a good board and swapped out all chips to see if that was the problem and no luck, I also swapped out the fuses and that didnt help either. Any ideas, these were working last year.

Lynx Smart String / Re: What is a Lynx Smart String?
« on: November 22, 2010, 02:13:36 am »
Hey RJ,

Looks like I am joining you on this one. I plan on doing a 20 foot 32 strand tree next year. I have seen Mr. Packet's RGB tree and I am wondering about how intuitive the software will be? Will it be pretty easy to program a show or is it going to take a 100 hours for one minute of music. I guess I am asking how difficult it would be to do something like Packethead did?

Thanks,

Sloanhaus

Lynx Wireless DMX / Re: Range issues

I work in a wireless group at work so I had access to some different omnidirectional WiFi antennas. I used an RP-SMA gender changer to a 6' SMA cable to a RP-TNC adapter and that to a 5.2dbi WiFi antenna. I have this at both the Rx and Tx ends. You could search around to find the same but you might want to look at some of the higher gain antennas they have for home APs too - I think they have the right connector also - however - they tend to have pretty stout connectors and probably won't fit with the case as-is. You could probably drill a larger hole in the case to accept the larger connector on the antenna.

I dont even know where to begin looking for the type of antenna you are talking about... Have you seen one, and if so, could you lead me in the right direction? Thanks much

So can we buy powered antennas or is this setup the best possible setup.

Thanks

Lynx Wireless DMX / Re: Range issues
« on: November 29, 2009, 08:50:50 am »
Ya, I asked about this a while ago, as I am not getting good range. I ran my opening night show last night and I had a board that was 50 feet away that had a bad signal and only came on sometimes. Are we able to buy powered antennas to hook to the transmitter? Also, can you have multiple transmitters using the same frequency (my guess is yes) If this is the case, I could set up multiple transmitter throughout the yard.

Thanks

Lynx Express / Re: How are you mounting you xpress
« on: November 15, 2009, 02:20:37 pm »
Came up with a simple way I thought I might share. Drill a 1/4 inch hole, lay down a screw on the inside on top of the hole, loop around the screw and out the hole with both ends, than zip it to your rebar or other post. Very simple and you can make a small hole. Holds great too.
