1. Introduction
The Grove –DMX512 is a adapter from Grove interface to DMX512 interface(industry standard
EIA-485 interface. The module is based on SN75176 chip which can balance transmission lines
and meet ANSI Standard EIA-485 interface. Now it is convenience to control stage lighting and
DMX512 console for Arduino.

"A001" at the moment.
Download File: DmxSimple Library and Unzip it into the libraries file of Arduino IDE by the
path: ..\arduino-1.0.1\libraries.
Open the code directly by the path:File -> Example ->DmxSimple->Fadup1.
You can see a interesting scene. Try to change code for your enjoy.
