Control/Dimming Dmx Terminator

I just found this quick and dirty explanation of how to build a Terminator, does this guy know what he is talking about? Or is he full of crap? I sure like the idea of spending less on a terminator, and I have some soldering skills, but will it work, is this really all a terminator consists of?

Thats it. I made myself a fancier one with an LED that lit up when it got signal, but if you just want a basic terminator to terminate your DMX, thats all there is to it. $3 and maybe 5 minutes of time.

Yes, it really is that easy.

I did this a while back, endd up making two, I made a femmale one without even thinking. Had to build another.
Ops.

Yup, that's all that's needed. Do make sure you use a 5% or better resister.

The information is accurate...
Circuit (ha!) Schematics for DMX Terminators and (simple) testers can be found at: Make a DMX tester.

That's the one I made! It works fine,

Yup. It really is that easy. I have always made my own.
