E1.31 Coming Soon...

   Well this past week, I had to do a special opening number for the school and instead of using the E1.31 protocol, I used a USB to DMX 512 dongle bought for under 20$on ebay and I must say, it works better than my 4 port Jsys that I had bought few years back.
To start with, it isn't as finicky as E1.31 when it comes time to restart the universe. My DR4 is nothing but a crap shoot: either I have to unplug something, reboot something or both at the time. USB dongle, click restart universes and it's good to go. Only negative thing about it is that it has only 512 channels. For anybody with 513 and above, you are SOOL.
