We watched the web page. We were not able to find any dmx channels infos to, so we can not help you. Sorry for this.
We suggest you to ask the supplier for the manual.

This is what the supplier told me:

"It is simple

First section on strip
Ch 1 = Red
Ch 2 = Green
Ch 3 = Blue
Second section on strip
Ch 4 = Red
Ch 5 = Green
Ch 6 = Blue
Third section on strip
Ch 7 = Red
Ch 8 = Green
Ch 9 = Blue

Etc…"

Does that help?

Okay---so I got it to work---

However, if I add to many channels the Editor will fail. For example, I have a 16' roll of LED ribbon. Each "section" has 3 lights---and each of those 3 has RGB (so really each section has 9 small LEDs). Each channel in the editor controls one color per section. So if I turn the 1st fader channel up the first 3 lights on the ribbon will glow red. The problem is I need to add around 144 channels for the whole 16 feet but after around 50 channels the editor just fails and won't reopen.

any help?

I purchased LPD 6803 RGB LED strip last week, and wanted to use the DMX to controll the LED strip, but my chip is not responding to my codes, when i send some serial datas i cannot controll the output. once i connected the LED strip to 12V supply some of the LED glows but it is not controlled by my serial data.

the DMX to LPD6803 recorder uses our DMX-SPI decoder can simply turn normal LED digital light to DMX512 LED light with international standard communication protocol. you can ask the manufacturer to give you the manual.
