[QUOTE="Simon Coffin, post: 145687, member: 388"] Re: Fog Machine Midi DIY help Hey Matthew, The 5 pin xlr style connector is almost certainly DMX. You can get a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter and run the signal down your snake, but you'll need a DMX controller of some sort. If the existing controller is just a switch, you could adapt it to 3 pin XLR. Cable length usually doesn't play a big role in low amperage low voltage circuits. If you take the DMX route, some people have complained of cross talk and noise in other snake channels. This is probably the case when channels share a common ground rather than each channel being true 3 wire. Take a look at your snake first. Cheers, Simon [/QUOTE]
