1-Channel DMX512 Light Dimmer

The DMX512 dimmer discussed here was developed out of the Portable DMX512 Tester from Elektor June 2002]. The tester proved a valuable device as you can select any channel you want to work with (up to 480), as well as change the ‘Start of Frame’ (SOF) character used, allowing you to test other DMX512 equipment besides dimmers.
