I am still not sure in my mind if say +10 and Ground would be escentially the same operation as +5 and -5. I have a hunch though that with a -5V signal it can be regulated the same as the +5 side so you know you have a 10V potential difference. After clicking on the bottom link and reading the authors tutorial on DMX systems that he builds I realize this is the first time I have read anything about RS45. There should be 32 hours in a day so after work I have more time to learn about all this stuff and get some sleep. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=90904#m141961 Need assistance?
