DIYLIGHTANIMATION shutting down Feb 28, 2023

diylightanimation.com is shutting down on Feb 28th 2023 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=16224.0)

Though it has not been active for quite a few years there are probably more than a few people running Lynx Express and MR16 DMX dimmers...

If you do have any DLA equipment you may want to grab any relevant files (firmware, BOM, etc) that are on the WiKi....

I still have an unbuilt Aeon clock in my office.  I backed up the .hex file and manual years ago though. I also have the SSC, EtherDongle, USB Dongle, and Zeus files and manuals saved as PDF.

It would be nice if there was a full dump of the files, although for some devices it would be better to use Falcon firmware such as for the Zeus and SSC if anyone is still using those.

My Aeon clock is still "ticking away" on my wall. Still have an unbuilt kit, also.
I should probably make sure I have the hex file somewhere in case I ever build (or sell) it.

@CaptainMurdoch  @JonB256  -- did you or anyone else save off the DLA documentation and files?

I've not been active in the community for a quite a while, and started to look at resurrecting some of my old setup.

I expected that many of the tools were unlikely to work with modern Windows, so I did power off my old windows 95 machine with some of the files (just in case)

I found the old forum and wiki in the Internet Wayback Machine.

Welcome back Steve.  There have been posts made for Lynx firmware made via this group and someone usually has it to share.  Almost all of my Lynx stuff is gone, but I still use some SSR4s for static things via the wireless option.  I use a Falcon Picap to generate DMX out and connect via FPP.
