Dimmabe LED Actuator
-
Has anyone successfully extended the dimmable LED Actuator sample sketch to more than one LED?
I have been trying to convert my old 1.3 sketch to 1.4 or extend the new example to more than one led but I have not got it to work.
Btw been using this since I first saw it on Mi casa verde and love it!

Hi, on to-do-list here, too..
Please check this thread http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/115/implementing-multiple-sensors/27 'wannabee' shares a link to his RGB+RFID code!

Maybe this can give you an idea (note: I'm using static RADIO_ID) :

@korttoma Thanks works great!

Thanks for the sketch. One thing i noticed with my setup is that when set to 100 percent my led strip is noticeably not as bright, compared to when connected directly to the 12V power supply.
Any suggestions ? I'm using IRL540 N-Channel Mosfets.

A mosfet will allways add a voltagedrop and it is depending on current and its ON-resistance.
For my PWM-dimmer have I used http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irlz44n.pdf when prototyping.
Now I have a PCB on its way from hong-kong and on that I will use http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irlr2905pbf.pdf
On my 12V ledstrips will I probably use a 16-18V supply and never run them on 100% dutycycle.

I didn't think the voltage drop would make enough of a difference to notice, but i guess it does. I might have to research and look for a more efficient Mosfet.
