Connection Diagram
Use the included 6-pin jumper cable to connect the DMX board to one of the serial expansion headers on the Ether Dream. Match pin 1 on the Ether Dream to pin 1 on the DMX board. Serial expansion header #1 correponds to DMX universe 1, and likewise for 2 and 3. Only header 1 can currently be used for input.
