From the project

DMX Demonstrator

The Transmitter IO Interface is an Arduino Shield which provides the 3-wire data/clock signal to the Receiver (DMX-RX1) and encode the data stream to control the brightness of 4 LEDs using the Control Pro (DMX-CP*).

Sparkfun offers some, but not all, of the components required for the Control Pro. For the parts they can supply, you can find a parts lists here.
