I'm trying to run a single RGB LED string, and I needed the power supply, controller, and then also a DMX USB interface, which is a little device that connects the controller to the computer, and is supposed to convert the data for the controller.
I tried to use a free trial software to run it.

I don't know anything about this stuff, and the information and instructions are really not clear, so I'm not having any luck. I still haven't even seen the lights light up. Like with every other complicated multiparty technology, all they do is point to the device that is not theirs.

So does anyone know anything about this. You would think it wouldbe a simple hookup.

Got the lights working a few days ago. It was the controller that had a short, so they'll be sending a new one. Also, finding the best [free] software for it. (Vixen works better than LightShowPro free trial).

Pretty cool thing; I can create any color or pattern. Been waiting for this for years, ever since RGB LED's came out, and I had awaited RGB's ever since I began seeing RyG's in the '80's!
