Hey All!
I was looking at the different options for controlling a few LEDs from a computer and was confused about the differences between the pieces of hardware.
To my untrained eye it seems as if there are 2 main types of dongles, the expensive ones that consist of a box that you plug the USB and dmx cords into (like this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...F3BgrzlhF9vqKcVgrx48_ZNkzn0k_Pjrg8aAkkG8P8HAQ), and the inexpensive kind which is simply a cord that has one end that is 5 or 3 pin dmx and another end that is USB (like this: http://www.dx.com/p/usb-to-dmx-adap...t3G7SZstt_ZGAahZeVmqgaApKG8P8HAQ#.V6tm-XopDqA).
What are the differences between these two types? Do they all generally work with any DMX control software? Any advice?
Thanks!
