You need to tell us where you're at; and if there's no one in the area, I'm sure someone can help you online.

well live in the reno area and was probably aiming this question to someone with a mobile rave art car. im guessing they might need a dmx controller to controll their lights

If you're not familiar with outboard DMX controllers, or don't want to spend the money for a "universal" controller, it's actually easier to get a USB-to-DMX adapter, and use supplied software (or write your own) to do all your DMX stuff.

I've heard these are pretty good systems:

Many of them can be controlled with windows or linux software, and most of them are buffered, so can continue sending the proper DMX signal even if the source has been disconnected.
