Available with a lead time
Expect dispatch between Jan 02 and Jan 06
Introduction
The EDGE102-DMX512 controller is an advanced lighting control system designed to manage stage, theater, and venue lighting using the DMX512 protocol. With a variety of interfaces—including RS485, I2C, and UART—this controller supports seamless connections to a range of sensors and devices, including compatibility with Arduino, ESP32, and ESPHome for easy integration into custom projects. It offers programmable, sensor-based automation for lighting and other stage equipment, moving beyond traditional manual control by consoles. Its dual-core architecture—combining the ESP32-S3 and a dedicated DMX512 chip—ensures high reliability, flexibility, and ease of use, making it a versatile solution for modern lighting applications. It features integrated WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities, allowing for remote control and programming.
Intelligent Automation with Sensor Integration
The EDGE102-DMX512 controller distinguishes itself by enabling automated control of lighting and stage equipment through sensor integration. While conventional DMX512 systems require manual operation through a control console, this controller allows for the connection of infrared sensors, sound level meters, and laser sensors, triggering lighting effects automatically based on environmental inputs. With 8 optically isolated industrial switch inputs ensuring compatibility with various PNP sensor types, it enhances efficiency and reduces the need for constant human supervision in environments like stages and commercial spaces.
