DIGITAL I/O CONTROL
digital I/O is a little different from
the rest of the boxes
this one you have to have a special
I/O card (input/output)
this type uses a control cable
not unlike a ribbon
(like what your hard drive or cd-rom
uses to connect to your motherboard)
below is a drawing of the
digital I/O controller
in this section i got the info from www.christmascave.com
( christmascave.com was purchased by animatedlighting.com )
a good place to look for the Digital I/O is www.lightorama.com
this units can be stand alone or computer controlled.
(I now use these and am thrilled with them)
