LEDgardener

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some parts that might give you ideas for controlling your fixtures remotely.

This development board allows for a variable PWM input voltage and converts to 0-5V or 0-10V analog.



It's less than $5 on e-bay.

To understand how this board does what it does, you can check this article out.

I'll talk more about how to actually integrate this into a production fixture next time.

Thanks.

That looks quite similar to one of the boards I purchased. I still haven't got around to it yet because for right now, I'm running the light at full blast.

Hey all,

I got the Arduino a while ago, but I just haven't had the time to get familiar with it.

Anyway, I started fooling around with it today...



Other developers will likely agree: After completing, compiling and running your first program, subsequent programs are much easier and this program is quite simple:
I simply initialize the pin to be an output, then set the max intensity (duty cycle = 1023) for 5 seconds, then off for 5 seconds.

Thank You - great input!

Planning my DIY Panels right now and def. will do a DIY Arduino Dimming Solution

Can the board be set up as a timer as well?

Absolutely - it can do just about anything, as long as it's programmed to do so (and as long as the power to the MCU is uninterrupted).

I wish more people would comment on this And add to the discussion.

I’m just diving into Arduino myself, and will have many questions!

Plenty useful information on there.

I like the idea of split light into "sections" and then be able to control each section / channel separately.

Aquaterists do use their lights in very similar way these days and there is always something that we can learns from them and visa versa.

I know this guy uses arduino to update live info to his stream, not sure if he is using it to control lights, but i believe he is, as an instagram post of his shows his LED with a pcb attached to it


Looks like an interesting piece of tech!

i would love to find nice solution to manage my 9 driver and 4 different spectrum

new illumi meshtek seems me a good solution no?
