Setting up and using the USB to RS485

Last updated 27 Sep 2026 by Mike W · History

I have released a video showing how the USB to RS485 controller works. Although i dont show the SmartShow LMS software, it will connect in to LMS for both input and output of DMX. Please Note, you can only use input or output individually, not at the same time.
here is a link to my YouTube video:
