DMX-512 RGB LED Wash Light Control Board

Step 11 Breakout board and Testing

To power anything more substantial than a single RGB LED, a breakout  board is used.

A board is chosen depending on the LED setup to be used. They come in Resistor regulated Common-Anode, Resistor regulated Common Cathode Configuration and Constant-Current Regulated board.

The Supplied Resistor Regulated boards are meant for multiple small LEDs or a few high-wattage LEDs, R4, R5, & R6 are large enough for a 2 or 3 watt Resistors. MOSFETs included with the boards can handle up to 46 watts each.

For very large units, I have had good success with the BuckPlus Line of constant current regulators. See Here

When ordering a kit, either decide what kind you will need or Contact Us for Help choosing.

Testing:

To test if the PCB is working properly attach the included Common Cathode RGB LED to the
" - R G B" Header.

- First Attach a 100-500 ohm resistor in series with the common cathode( ground, its longest lead)
- Then wire up the rest of the leads to the correct header pin. See Diagram.
