    USB controlled PWM for LEDs

    I took a stab at soldering the parts on the PC boards (which are 1" square.) Man, that was a challenge. I think I need to pickup one of those smaller soldering irons and a set of the robot hand thingys. And being far-sighted doesn't help things at all. I still haven't received my RGB LED...

    USB controlled PWM for LEDs

    Sweet. Is it cool to chain all those positive leads together or is there a better way to do it?

    USB controlled PWM for LEDs

    Here is what I came up with on the PC board I bought on eBay: http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/5557/circuit2qc8.jpg How does that look? The pink resistors are the 1kOhm pull-up resistors you mentioned. The blue resistors are the appropriate resistors for my LEDs when run at 12v. The yellow...

    USB controlled PWM for LEDs

    Yeah...I was thinking that too. It depends on where I put the mosfets. If I put them in the controller box, I'd only need 4 connectors. If I put them in the light box (my original plan) it'd take 6 wires (5v+, Red gnd, blue gnd, green gnd, 12v+, gnd) I guess it'd be simpler and cheaper to...

    USB controlled PWM for LEDs

    Got my LED-wiz yesterday and hooked up 3 blue LEDs to test. Seems pretty sweet so far. Ordered some PC boards from ebay. I'm looking for a way to connect the box the controller will be in to the boxes with the LEDs in them. It needs to be 6 pin. I've been looking at the PCI express...

    Looking for a new case / Need Help

    I know they're out there, but I'm not familiar with all the offerings of the case manufacturers. If you give it some time somebody should be able to help you out.

    control my home lighting from laptop?

    Well, I got my LED-wiz today. Took a few minutes to get up and running. I haven't tried the external voltage thing, but I read on a review of the LED-wiz that the lights will stay on with the computer turned off. Sweet. (:

    Small LED's?

    From this picture: http://www.tweakers.net/ext/f/62653/full.jpg They look like they're 3mm LEDs. Any place that sells LEDs or eBay should have em.

    USB controlled PWM for LEDs

    Just a quick update on the project. I have 2000' of 24AWG wire in hand from ebay ($28 shipped...the guy wanted to get rid of the other spool he had.) I just received 3 mosfets and the optoisolator from mouser today. My LED-wiz shipped out on Monday with 2-3 USPS, so I should be getting it in...

    control my home lighting from laptop?

    I don't think parallel would work for him because it needs to work when the machine is powered down....unless there is some way to power it externally and make a "once switched, be switched until further notice" kind of relay. I'm not an EE, so I'm not sure if such a beast exists.

    Need a girly but decent case! Where to find one?

    You might be able to take a case to one of the those mall airbrush people and see if you have any luck.
