I am very happy with the readymade athom interface I use for my string of addressable LED's
Could you make a DMX version to work with my other lights? As I understand it, is just the addition of an off-the-shelf driver MAX485 chip (in a socket as they are a cheap "sacrificial" component like a fuse) and a software configuration.
If it could be delivered at a similar price point I could see people buying several so as to reduce the number of cables they have (and WLED does support a huge number of channels for DMX anyway).

I second that!
