The first real work on building fog 2.0 has begun.
Things we need to resolve
- how far will the smoke go with out help
- how hot will the machine and the fog be
- best way to connect the tubing to the machine
- what effects do we want to achieve
If the machine does not get to hot we hope to connect to the collar around the nozzle. This should give the best chance to get a good seal and capture the most smoke.
The first test rig will be a long feeder tube into a T connection, then from the T will be two hoses, that have holes to release smoke, this will let us get a uniform smoke out put away from the T so that smoke output will be greatest in the center and even away from the center.
EIA-485 is the stand on which dmx512 is based. It tells you how the signals are to be manifest, on what kind of medium etc. The dmx standard, tells you how the data is to be formed so the devices know what they are dealing with. I might have found the specifications for it, how ever it is also for sale
1) dmx signal processor, can send and/or receive a dmx signal
2) wireless transmitter or receiver, sends and/or receives radio signals
3) a bridging device that communicates between 1) and 2)
With running our own lighting rig there is one issue we face over and over. Lots and Lots of wires. As if a small club stage doesn’t have enough already. Well they make wireless dmx, but i am not lighting the pyramids. Maybe guitar center? . Hum not terrible, but for a glorified wlan set up thats a lot (also thats just 1 not a pair).
The Build
Create our own wireless dmx set up. We need 1 transmitter and at least 5 receivers. Make them durable, compact, and for significantly less than off the self products.

No, its not free. Maybe you can find copy of it some where on the tubes. But if you going to build anything thats dmx512 based, you will need that or be very very lucky with a coat hanger.
