Arc Dimmer – Introduction
Monday, May 19th, 2014 - 15:00 - Arc Dimmer
My friend asked me if I could make him a push-button controlled LED dimmer, so I did! And went a bit haywire with the options list, as usual. Instead of making a single-purpose dimmer I decided to make it a bit more universal and bulletproof. Here are the basic specs:
- operating voltage: 12-24V DC
- load current: up to 10A (or more with a different output switch)
- protected against overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature
- two configurable control inputs
- optional I2C interface for bus control
- status and power LEDs
The PCBs arrived a few days ago and I assembled one unit for testing. A few parts are missing because they are on order and should arrive soon. Here are a few pics until I prepare the documentation:
