Basic RGB DMX Controller	February 16, 2013
Reviewer: Chad Johnston from Lakeville, MN

opened these up to play around today and they work very well. The screw terminals are great and the dip switch addressing works perfectly. The addressing chart was a bit confusing at first but once I realized how it worked it made total sense. Fading and color changes are very smooth. I used this with the ActiDongle and Light O Rama software. Everything works just as described. I would recommend this to anyone jumping into DMX and RGB.
