    DIY Wire Harness for Network Dimming ports and AI Sol?

    As it states, just curious if i can make my own harness from the Ethernet style dimming ports to the headphone looking jack for the AI Sol Blue lights I have laying around? I know the VDM unit will solve this. But I have the appropriate wires laying around and can splice them together for this if it will work. Thanks!

    AI Sols cannot be connected to and controlled via the variable outputs. They are not 0-10v dimmable devices. Sols require the VDM, which has the necessary serial interface for Sols.

    In addition to what Russ notes above...if you want to DIY an AI SOL cable, you would need an RS232 cable with DB9 connectors. Considering how few people have these laying around, you're probably better off purchasing a premade one.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
