The silkscreen image shows what direction the transistors go in, you may have to bend the middle lead outwards so it fits into the holes.Ĭ1 and C3 are both 0.1uF capacitors, the small yellow ones. Hot Glue, not necessary but helps a lot to secure the ribbon cable

Remember XLRs, Headers and Housings are not required, and are purchased as an add-on, look for the check boxes above the Add This To My Cart Button. Kits can be purchased from Chromation Systems Webstore. I have a work-in-progress tutorial on DMX LED Wash Light Design just the basics right now, but it will be expanded. Or for bulk purchases or firmware licensing. Please contact me if custom or modified DMX Channels or Stand-alone functions are required. 0 - 255 Selects color R->G->Bĭownload the Datasheet Here or Visit the DMX-512 LED Controller w/ LED Display Webpage. Select - Displays a selected color, stays that color.Hold - Holds the outputs at their previouscolor values, in case of DMX connectivity loss.Flash - Flashes through preset colors, with Speed Control.Fade - Cycles through all the colors, with speed control.When the device does not have a DMX signal or looses signal, it will fall into user selected stand-alone mode, The mode is selected by the user and saved to the device. 0 is off, 5 or more starts at 1hz upto 10hz strobing. 5 - Strobe - Strobes the colors using the Shutter and RGB values.4 - Shutter - (Master Brightness) Scales the Red, Green and Blue values proportionality to the shutter value, 255 will produce the actual values that Red, Green or Blue are set to.3 Channel Mode:ĥ Channel Mode: Same Red, Green, Blue Channels, and The display PCB is 1.75" x 1.75" x 3/8" and has mounting holes in each corner for standoffs or screws. It is connected to the display PCB with 13-strand ribbon cable. All user changed preferences are saved to the device and load at start up.Ĭontroller PCB is 2" x 2" x 0.5" tall.


The device can be set to go into various stand alone modes if it looses DMX signal or no DMX is being used. The user can select weather the device utilizes 3 or 5 channels of DMX data. The 2 buttons are used to set the DMX address( Up/Down) and to control the stand-alone functions for when DMX input is not used. The display shows the user the current address or what the current stand alone mode is set to. A 3 digit, 7-segment LED display and 2 buttons are on a separate PCB connected with a ribbon cable, so it can be mounted anywhere.
Pixelstick diagram drivers#
The PWM signals control LED Drivers (Output Boards, MOSFET/Resistor based regulation or constant current regulators), which are selected based on the configuration(current, voltage, type) of LEDs being controlled. A compact, easy to assemble, LED Controller outputs TTL PWM signals for Red, Green and Blue LEDs.
