I thought I would help you guys out. Don't waste your time programming the arduino. Check out Mycodo here: https://github.com/kizniche/Mycodo Very nice software. Runs on a raspberry pi. You can get the zero or the 3B+. I have mine running on a 3B+. Controls lights, fans, extraction fan, and dims. As...

This used to be open sourced. Why no longer?

I have programming experience and would love to contribute to the project. I have a few ideas I would like to see implemented as well.

Here is something on diffuse light. A ton of stuff popped up.

It also easier on the eyes. Win Win lol. These LED bars are going to be amazing. I've been wanting something like this for a long time!

I'm really surprised everyone here recommends a lower voltage power supply ran in parallel. I don't see a problem as your isolated from ground so with 24v vs 240v you still need to complete the circuit. What the deal with that recommendation? In Europe they basically tell us we can't work on anythi...

Do you know of someone using such power levels? thats like 60w/ sq foot. 5.4 DLI per hour. PPFD should be closer to 1500 then 600 :D I'm referencing this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/samsung-f564b-linear-strip-build.953509/ I am more interested in this being an all fits one lamp. I want to be...

The higher the voltage the easier it is for electricity to jump. On a pcb where things are located close together the increase in voltage makes this even easier. All things are made to a price and as consumers demand lower pricing quality keeps dropping. I wouldn't risk running a 240V system in ser...

Thanks for the back and forth today. Really fun and I learned something!

It's always in CC mode. The data sheet is confusing that's all. I was confused about it also and thought there was some sort of special circuitry in there but it doesn't seem to have anything special that I can find at all Ok I'll see if I can figure it out and come to the same conclusion. Are you ...

The led is really hot now, it has gone up to 1.3 watts, I will leave it for a while longer. I'm not running this on a heatsink it's just a pcb

Your good. You made your point long ago. Let that baby rest lol
