| Ultimarc PacDrive and LED Strip lighting |
| (1/1) |
| xscdx:
Hi, I have a question. I currently have the PacDrive setup with 12 LED Pushbuttons and was wondering if I could also hook up an LED Strip Light at the same time but take the power from a PC +12V source (yellow wire) thus only connecting the ground wire to the PacDrive. I could then utilise LEDBlinky to control my LED Strips. I have attached a shoddy diagram showing my mad thinking. Any thoughts? cheers |

I think you could be able to do that. However, you would have to treat your LED strip as a button in LEDBlinky animations. If you want your LED strip to be controlled seperately as cabinet animations, LEDBlinky requires that you use a seperatly LED controller to control the strip. |

A little trial and testing will determine which would be the best frequency for the LED strip react. Its just the whole can I/can't i run both that I am not sure of :-\ This seems a good alternative until I can fund another controller :) |
