Ambient Mood Lighting Project

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

This is something I’ve been throwing around for a few years–ordered the main components tonight.  Should be ready to start building in a couple of weeks–damn hong kong shipping times.  The controller supports 32 channels, at 500ma each.  Most LED’s are 20ma so that’s 25 LED’s per channel maxed out–but since I’m using RGB LED’s, that’s 3 channels to power even a single RGB LED.  I can make 10 “modules” of 25 led’s each–thats alot of LED’s though.

BoM:

x50 10mm RGB Common Anode LED’s

LED-WIZ 32-port USB Lighting and Output Controller

Some kind of U or h channel steel stock

4 conductor cable–might just use cat5

Resistors, tbd based on psu and number of led’s per module.
