Mode selection (FX version only)

This chapter describes the different methods of selecting between the different flex modes – also known as modes of operation. This only applies to Pluggy FX. Pluggy RX can not be configured for this as it is only a receiver module.

Flex mode (RX/TX)

The Pluggy FX can act either as receiver or a transmitter of wireless DMX. The mode must be selected for the device to operate in the right way.

Selecting via input signal

Pin 11 on the module controls the flex mode selection behaviour. Note: Voltage on Pin 11 may not exceed 3.3V.
