12v rgb led control
dkersten:
Has anyone played with controlling SMB-5050 12v RGB LED strips with command lines or other software that can be controlled by a front end?
I have done some lighting with it that was controlled via Wi-Fi and my phone, but now I am looking to do something through the PC so my FE can control it.
At the least I would like a controller that can just do a preprogrammed sequence when powered up.
Going beyond that, having the front end be able to choose between different modes based on various situations (startup, selection, game launch, etc)
And ideally it would be cool to have full control and maybe even tie into mamehooker and have games trigger different events, but that is really getting out there.
I found one controller that looks like it can be triggered off command line events: http://www.amazon.com/MJS-Gadgets-USB-LED-1-RGB-Controller/dp/B005TX3QHM#cm_cr_dpwidget But it is kind of expensive and I hate to spend that money and have it not work for me.
Any ideas?

LEDBlinky + LED-Wiz = What you want.

It can do 12 volt high current leds? Thought it was only 5v like the rest of them. I will look into it, thanks.

The Invaders have 12V RGB LED strips behind them. All running off an LED-Wiz using LEDBlinky.

Sweet, looks like it will support up to 4 different voltages for outputs. And now that I am looking into it, looks like the pac-drive can do the same. Gotta get my order amended before it ships! Then I will just have to calculate how many segments can be run off one channel.
Thanks! :notworthy:
