16x PWM LED Fader

Description

Main features:

• 16 channels of voltage control–mix DC motors and LEDs
• High resolution 16bit* control enables smooth fading, precise color mixing
• Different voltages can be used on all 16 channels (4 separate banks for simplied wiring)
• Control via RS232 serial, 5V TTL serial or high speed SPI from arduino or other uCs
• Fast update / communication–with SPI, all 16 channels can be smoothly swept
• Easy built-in commands: Group lights, Fade, Chase, Blink , Sunspot
• Up to 25V and 2A per channel (max power dependent on ambient temperature)
• LED indicators at each channel’s connection, as well as communication indicators
• Comes with 9V power supply

*full range is 8 to (2^16 – 8)
