Hey guys, this is Martin again from SIRS-E. Today, I'm going to show you guys something
very cool and exciting; it's something new that I came up with.
This little device here, it's basically a customization that I came up with for a customer
of mine, and this is just to show you guys the different things that can be done using
our stuff and a little bit of other components.
Basically what this is here, it's a wireless DMX battery powered module.
This module works with the 34 Pixels per meter LED Strip.
and it's completely wireless.
It's got a battery in there that powers up everything, including the strips and your
wireless DMX stuff.
It's got your wireless DMX receiver, and it's got an address module.
This address module is cool because if you're running short segments of strip across a room,
you can actually address each one of these packs so that the effect can continue throughout
the whole setup.
I'm going to briefly talk to you guys about what I did and what's included within this
pack.
You've got your voltage regulator, because we're using a lithium polymer battery, and
they output about 8.4 Volts when they're fully charged, so this regulator knocks it down
to 5 Volts.
This regulator is a pretty high amperage regulator, so you can use quite a bit of strip.
You got your main power connection over here.
You connect both connectors over here, that power's up the whole system.
Then we have the address module, here we have a little DMX clean-up module.
You can't really see it, but what this does is it keeps the whole signal coming out to
the strip very clean and very efficient.
Then we got a little power cable here, for our wireless DMX.
That's pretty much all there is to it, as far as the components go.
So, I'm going to show you guys how it works.
As you can see, completely wireless; no wires, no nothing, no magic, no trickery going on
here.
What we're going to do here is connect the power over here and we're going to our power
for our system here, for our wireless system.
You'll notice that it's blinking, that means we have juice, everything's going good.
So, I've already got a little ENTTEC box with a receiver over here, which is basically going
to be transmitting to this end over here.
I'm running this with MADRIX, so there we go.
I'm running a color scroll, completely wireless; no wires attached, nothing going on.
You can see, I have full control over it, just like if there were cables and power supplies
connected to it.
Right now I have a color scroll going on, but you could pretty much switch out to any
effect that you want, really.
Here we've got some kind of scanner thing going on.
As you can see, it's wireless, battery powered, it's working very smooth, very efficiently,
considering the fact that it's completely on its own.
Depending on what pack you use, how many milliamps it has, it'll vary, the run-time.
Here we're using a 5400mA polymer battery.
This battery will run about 5 hours or so, fully charged on a moderate effect.
If you do an effect like this, something simple like this, it'll run way longer than that.
It all depends on how much strip you have going on and all that.
One thing you have to keep in mind though, there's no voltage cut-off circuit in this.
I'm actually working on a low voltage cut-off circuit, but this one doesn't have one, so
you have to monitor the voltage of the battery frequently, just to make sure you don't drain
it and ruin the battery.
Other than that, it's a very stable system.
We also have over here, an extra 5V power output connector going on.
This can be used if you're running a whole segment of strip, and you need to power the
strip from both ends.
You can use this with another long cable to power up the other end of the strip over here.
If you don't want to do that, you could always just run another battery with the regulator
on the other end, and it works just as well.
So, completely wireless DMX system and I'm actually, like I said, running this with MADRIX.
I'll show you guys a couple other things over here that you can see.
There's this effect here, and basically what it does, it does, like, a fill.
So you guys can see that it's super smooth, works really well, battery powered, and all
that.
