Jim,I'm useing my apex with a vdm to control and dim the AI SOL LED's. Personally it s@#ks and you need a phd to figure it out.Lots of virtual programs.Hate to say it but R/C has a bunch of examples on how to program it and set it up.You do need their cable also.If it will help I can send you my web link and you can look at what I did
Are you able to also manually control the LEDs using the controller (e.g., aquanotes or via web)?
