Short Description
The idea behind this "device" is to create a common software and hardware design, to enable the advanced user to build a custom LED-Dimmer.
Soldering and PCB will be limited to Breadboard, so everyone who knows which side of the soldering iron will get hot can build it.
It will support a range of 1 up to 12 channels using the 16bit timer/pwm of the atmega µControllers.
Depending on the number of channels, it can be built into a REG-Case for central usage or into module case for decentral usage.
It will support CV (constant voltage) LED up to 24V and CC (constant current) LED.
Maybe for some configurations I (or someone else) will design a pcb.
While the current prototype runs on a Mega2560 Board, I plan switiching to SAMD21 on a ItsyBitsyM0 Board with MicroBCU and a PCA9685 I2C PWM Driver.
With this setup 24 channels in a 9TE casing seem to be possible.
