Compatible Node Chipset: SSC was designed for the TM1804 & TM1809 chipset. The SSC output speed is 800Khz and 12volts. The WS2811 might be compatible if the speed is correct. If the chipset has two speeds than normally its called "High Speed"

DSC Light Order Chart

Make sure whatever lights you buy for DSC it says Common Anode + and its 12 volts and 4 wires

You also need one each of the following:

ETD Case cut out info:

Only Need the CF Socket if replacing a broken one.

CF Socket
Control Panel ver 3 Needed for Conductor-Revised firmware v69 and up
Control Panel ver 1.5
Compact Flash card reader for your computer - to add files and format CF
Android App for Conductor

You must download it with your phone to have it install.

Wireless option

Asus-330N info
Buy from Amazon
The Asus units are connected to the EtherDongle, just as if they were hard wired ethernet connections.

One per each, if you have multiple EtherDongles including slave units working together.

Its for timing marks only from EtherDongle with Conductor to other EtherDongles with Slave boards.

The show data (sequence) is on the slave units and the timing from the wireless keeps each one in sync.

The EtherDongle with Conductor has the whole show on it (sequence and audio, etc)

NOTE: Only use the Pickit (2 or 3) utility and not MPLAB to program the firmware
NOTE: POWER CONNECTORS: ALWAYS use the (3) 4 pin power connectors with the 24 pin connector

Failure to add the extra power connectors can/will damaged the PS 24 pin Connector and Hub from excess current

Pixelnet 16 Port Passive Hub

NOTE: POWER CONNECTORS: ALWAYS use the (3) 4 pin power connectors with the 24 pin connector

Failure to add the extra power connectors can/will damaged the PS 24 pin Connector and Hub from excess current

Pixelnet 4 Port Passive Hub

Note: For all items in this section (Zeus, Hubs, Power Supplies):

They typically get installed into a group24/Marine battery box from walmart.
Place PS in the bottom and then mount the board across the top usually mounted using the DIY method of your choice.
Seal up any vent holes on the top of the box.
Example but be free to adapt to your needs.

SSC v1 & v2 Mod

On the following image you will see two colored in lines I painted on to an image of the top of a SSC. This mod was designed to be totally on the top of the PCB to allow those with their SSC’s already enclosed in the PVC to do this easily. Just slide the PCB up out of the PVC as if you were going to update the firmware which you are going to do also.

It does not matter if it is a V1 or V2 PCB this mod is exactly the same.

The red mark is where you need to use a razor blade and cut the trace where it is. This is on the TOP of the PCB where the parts are. You will find the heavier trace located between the pins of the two resistors. Make sure you cut it well enough that it does not make connection any longer.

Then on the back of the PCB place a jumper wire where the Yellow line is drawn. Connect these points with a small light wire making sure it does not short anything else. Remember to take into account that when you flip the PCB over to do this that everything is mirror imaged on you. Once this is complete you may want to change the top resistor (V1 pcb is marked as 330, V2 is marked as 47) to in the range of 220 - 330 ohms. It will work with others that we have used but you will find this to be the best area to use. 330ohm is the one to use if you are building new.

Flash your SSC with the new firmware. The same firmware now works on both controller versions.

Make sure you use the new utility program that is provided to program your modified SSC's. You only have to replace the exe file with one provided no new installed needed.

 The red mark is where you need to use a razor blade and cut the trace where it is. This is on the TOP of the PCB where the parts are. You will find the heavier trace located between the pins of the two resistors. Make sure you cut it well enough that it does not make connection any longer.
-Then on the back of the PCB place a jumper wire where the Green line is drawn. Connect these points with a small light wire making sure it does not short anything else. Remember to take into account that when you flip the pcb over to do this that every is mirror imaged on you.  Once this is complete you may want to change the top resistor to in the range of 220 - 330 ohms.
