ROCKWEDGE LED: How To Use Wireless DMX

Introduction

The RockWedge LED lights can be controlled wirelessly using a DMX controller, allowing for a synchronized light show in stage productions, DJ setups, and live events. You can use 6-channel or 10-channel DMX mode, depending on how much control you want over your lights.

This guide will show you how to:

• Set up a wireless DMX connection
• Configure 6-channel or 10-channel DMX mode
• Use the DMX controller to control colors, brightness, and effects
• Connect lights via wired DMX if needed

Step 1: Choosing the Right DMX Mode

• 6-Channel Mode (Basic Control)
  • Control the six individual LED colors (Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, UV).
• 10-Channel Mode (Advanced Control)
  • Control colors, preset effects, strobe, fade speeds, and brightness.

The 10-channel mode provides full control over your lights, so we’ll use it in this setup.

Step 2: Syncing Lights to the Wireless DMX Controller

1. Set the DMX Code on the Lights
   • Press the Wireless DMX Code button on the RockWedge LED.
   • Select a color to assign as the DMX code (e.g., Red).
2. Set the DMX Code on the Controller
   • Repeat the process on the wireless DMX controller, ensuring the same color is selected.
3. Set the DMX Channel Mode
   • On each RockWedge LED, go to the Menu settings.
   • Select 10-channel mode (D Mode).
4. Set the DMX Address
   • Use the Up/Down buttons to set the DMX address (e.g., A001).
   • This ensures that all lights respond to the same controller settings.

Confirming a Successful Connection

• The controller's code light should flash red.
• The lights’ code lights should flash green.
• This confirms that the wireless DMX connection is active.

Step 3: Controlling the Lights with the DMX Controller

Once the lights are synced, use the DMX controller’s faders to adjust settings.

DMX Controller Faders (10-Channel Mode)

Example Controls

• Raising Fader 2 (Red LED) increases red brightness.
• Adjusting Fader 8 controls strobe speed.
• Moving Fader 9 changes lighting effects (fade, pulse, color shift).

📌 Tip: Use the LCD display on the DMX controller to check the active mode when adjusting Fader 9.

Step 4: Using a Wired DMX Setup (Alternative Method)

If you don’t want to use wireless DMX, you can use DMX cables to connect your lights.

1. Connect the Controller to the First Light
   • Plug a DMX cable’s male end into the DMX OUT of the controller.
   • Plug the other end into DMX IN on the first light.
2. Connect Multiple Lights
   • Take another DMX cable and connect DMX OUT from the first light to DMX IN on the next light.
   • Continue this process for additional lights.
3. Set the DMX Address
   • Make sure all lights are set to 10-channel mode with the same address (A001).

Confirming the Setup

• Go to the DMX controller and activate Scanner 1.
• Raise Fader 1 to test brightness control.
• Adjust other faders to confirm colors and effects are working.

Conclusion

Setting up your RockWedge LED lights with a wireless DMX controller allows for precise control and synchronization. Whether using wireless or wired DMX, you can create dynamic lighting effects for any event.

With 6-channel mode for basic control and 10-channel mode for full customization, your lights can be easily tailored to your needs. Enjoy your wireless DMX setup and take your lighting game to the next level.
