## Description

The Arduino DMX Shield is a low-cost, high-quality interface that connects your Arduino to DMX512 lighting networks. Built around the MAX485 transceiver and equipped with NEUTRIK XLR 3-pin connectors (one male, one female), it can operate as a DMX Master, Slave, or RDM transponder. Each shield receives a unique RDM device ID for worldwide identification. Configurable onboard jumpers let you select TX/RX pins, choose between hardware slave mode and software-controlled master/slave (required for RDM), and enable/disable the shield without disconnecting it — handy for uploading new sketches. Key Features DMX512 Master & Slave – Send and receive DMX data for lighting control RDM Transponder – Remote Device Management with unique device ID NEUTRIK XLR Connectors – High-quality 3-pin male and female connectors MAX485 Transceiver – Reliable RS-485 communication for DMX protocol Configurable Jumpers – Select TX/RX pins, master/slave mode, and enable/disable Disable Jumper – Disconnect shield from serial lines for easy sketch uploading Jumper Configuration TX Pin: Arduino TX or digital pin 4 RX Pin: Arduino RX or digital pin 3 Mode: Hardware slave or software-controlled master/slave via digital pin 2 Enable/Disable: Disconnect shield without removing it Ideal For Controlling DMX512 stage and architectural lighting Interactive art installations with DMX fixtures Custom lighting controllers and sequences DMX-driven props and special effects Package Contents 1× Arduino DMX shield Resources User Manual (PDF) DMX Library & Wiki (SourceForge) Arduino Playground – DMX Shield
