Below you'll find a few tools that Joe and Cat use.
DMX Testers


Artistic Licence Micro-Scope 3A
We both use this handy, portable DMX tester.  It shows you levels on all 512 channels (with your choice of seeing this in percentages or 0-255).  The Micro-Scope also does a double-ended cable test, can take DMX snapshots, buffers DMX signal when needed and more.  Its small and light- making it very portable.

Goddard Lil'DMXter

Goddard offers the Lil'DMXter in a couple of models.  Joe really likes the full universe flicker finder option they've included.

Doug Fleenor Design

We both feel that anything you get from DFD is going to serve you well.  Let's face it: trust the good doctor.  If you're not sure what we mean by that- its time to learn a little more about DMX.

Oh.. and by the way: getting a DMX tester for yourself would satisfy a requirement listed in the Rules to Program By!
Midi Devices


MidiSport 2x2 by M-Audio

This is a great (and can we say- CHEAP)  little gagdet that will get a MIDI signal in to and out of your computer.  This means you can use MIDI timecode, MIDI Show Control and MIDI Notes with your offline editor console. Hog3PC and grandMA on PC both support this.   Did we mention that it was cheap to buy?

The Midi Sport 2x2 is the midi interface that I show being used in my MSC Backup tutorial for Wholehog 3.
