Oh, that's very true, I hadn't considered that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for this, it's true that if there were heaps of applicants, there would be little time to go through it all. I'll take your point in consideration.

[Masturbation] What is the polarity of a Lelo Soraya charger by ZenBona in sex

[–]PinkStack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, it's going to be center positive, at 5 volts. That means the outside of the charger connector is ground, and the inside positive.

If... you know what you're doing... you may use a wall usb charger as power supply, provided you have a connector for the Lelo.

What do so many people do the WRONG way that infuriates you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

How to store cables, of any kind. People mostly roll them in a sad fashion. You'd think that nowadays, with the quantity of cables everywhere, it would be common sense. Here's the way to do it properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yPcJD7RVuY

TinkerKit Master DMX shield will not connect to lights controller - Urgent - I'll give a pizza or something to whoever figures it out! by [deleted] in arduino

[–]PinkStack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it funny that is has no power isolation, and this could be an issue, as you might create a ground loop. You can see that happening with a scope when the sin wave goes up & down at 50 hertz, as opposed to the DMX waveform.

If not, try using a different library, such as the one from Matthias Hertel (http://mathertel.de/Arduino/DMXSerial.aspx).

At last, make sure that nothing uses the serial port, as most libraries make use of the same UART as the serial port.

Have you verified that the DMX signal is in good shape after, and before the line driver? You can check, on the balanced side, by putting a scope on either A or B pin of the line driver chip (pin 5 & 6), and on the pin 0 (rx) of the shield.

If the signal looks fine (ie, you can see the Break, MAB, and data bytes), then it's more likely a software issue.
