LED Light Controller
====================
The LED Light Controller is a simple board to control light strip.
These have hundreds of LEDs (60-120 led/meter) and use 12V (and ~1A/m).
The LED Light Controller is a simple board to control light strips.
These have hundreds of LEDs (60-120 led/meter) and use 12V (and ~0.5A/m).
This board offers 2x5 outputs, so to be able to control 10 light strips independently (1 per color, RGB requires 3 channels).
The brightness of the light strips is PWM-controlled (this only works for LEDs).
The brightness of the light strips is PWM-controlled (this works well with LEDs).
Different "modes" can be saved so to be able to rapidly select between user-defined settings.
You can control the lights over bluetooth, or using (almost) any infrared remote control (which you will have to configure using the serial or bluetooth port first).
You can control the lights over UART, or with (almost) an infrared remote control using NEC code (which you will have to configure using the UART port first).
The power for the light strips and the board is provided by an off-the-shelve PC power supply (compliant to the ATX specification).
The power for the light strips and the board is provided by an off-the-shelf PC power supply (compliant to the ATX specification).
These offer ~10A for the 12V output through the main large connector (with 20 pins for ATX v1.x and 24 pins for ATX v2.x), which is used for the 5 first output channels.
An additional 12V output is provided through a smaller 4-pin connector by ATX v2.x power supplies, used for the 5 last output channels.
**The second connector has 4 pins, with 2 yellow cables on the side with the clip, and 2 black cables on the other side. DON'T CONNECT the one with 4 different colors.**
