Good afternoon folks!
I have some esp 32 units and a conceptinetics dmx shield (ctc-dra-10-r2).
Are these compatible? We basically want to issue a dmx command when the analogue contacts are closed.
Any help would be amazing.
Please post a link to the shield
The fact that you refer to it as a shield makes it sound like it is designed to plug onto a board such as a Uno or Mega. If so, then it is likely to be a 5V device whereas the ESP32 is a 3.3V device which means extra complications
Thanks for the reply
and manual/data sheet here:
In the black box i am building i already have 230v, 12v and 24v and USB outputs so its not major effort for me to chuck a buck converter in or a dedicated 5v psu. I think we have a load of meanwell lpvs somewhere 
Also just found this, which appears to be very simple what i am doing apart from i am introducing a button AND im using esp32 not 8266 although i do have a load of 8266 kicking about too!
That is plainly a shield designed to plug onto a Uno or Mega and is, as such, is a 5V board
You can, of course, connect to it using jumpers rather than plugging it in and supply the required GND and 5V power to it. However, due to the difference between the the voltage levels of the ESP and the shield you will also need to use voltage level shifters on the data lines between the two boards
I am not clear what "this" is
Sorry for the slow response.
I have got the dmx shield running on an ESP 8266 currently.
Using this:
That is the link that was missing off the previous post.
I want to get it running with an ESP 32 which is what i am currently trying to achieve. Once thats running i want to integrate a button.
I have a button working on esp 8266, dmx working on 8266 (not at the same time). Now moving onto a 32 then hoping to combine it all!
