    Wow nice! Might take me some time, but I will take a look at your code (and maybe add some of its features back to my sketches if that fine with you).

      @LastSamurai Yes, of course.
      Just a question. How did you make the "values curve"? You said in excel and perhaps a graph... did you manage to change graph values and update data in any way?

      I've made the sketch for adjusting the gamma values, something with a Serial monitor menu that allows for increasing and decreasing the channels in real time. And adjusted the greens for a better hue (orange being orange, not a greenish yellow) but now I do't know how to adapt the curve.
      I refuse to modify the 255 values by hand.

      Now I'm making a case for 3d-print. Where do I have to post it, there or in a separate post? I read anything about posts becoming entries at hardware.io and ¿build?

        Do you really need an external voltage regulator for this module? I mean the Arduino Pro Mini has its linear regulator already built in. You can only draw about 100ma from it, but wouldn't that be sufficient for the micro, radio and the mosfet gates?

          @ThetaDev Maybe you you could get away with it but especially the radio is very sensitive concerning the power supply. Cheap pro minis often use very cheap regulators too and then this might become a problem.
          I also wanted to support the high power version of the NRF and that definitly needs more power than provided by the onboard regulator.

            Hi
            How i can modify sketch files INO to use it with radio RFM69HW with this adaptaer:

              I never tried that but as far as I know you have to tell Mysensors to use a different kind of radio by adding a define like:

              #define MY_RADIO_RFM69
              

              Just do a quick search on this forum though ;)

                And your project works also with Home Assistant ?
                Can you show how it looks in your automation ? Which controller you use ? (Domoticz or other)
                And on MySensors 2.2.0 this also works ?

                  I only had Home Assistant installed for some days (did not really like it at the time) so I can't tell you that it works 100% but it did back then. You have to add some strange additional messages but I tried to integrate that into my code.
                  I am using my RGBW controllers with openhab 2 in one location and with domoticz in another. As it is controlled by MySensors it works (and looks) pretty much like any other mysensors node. Both installations run on 2.2. Hope this helps :)

                      Mmmmm... How much have you pushed this board? I mean, in terms of load.
                      I just had one fail at me and I'm trying to understand what component may have been the weak link.

                      It was driving a 5m white stripe when it turned himself off and on again, but although the light was still on the node was down. I took it out and almost burned my hand. Not the mosfets, but the arduino and radio. Nothing seems bad (components good looking, arduino seems to start) but as soon as you apply 12v, even without load it starts the barbecue.

                      It seems that the mosfets are good to 4,2Ah if I understand it. So what would be the boards specs? :thinking_face:

                          @gohan As you suspected, it was 12v.

                            No wonder why it got hot, poor little arduino :D

                              @gohan Yeah, but what is not that intiutive for me is why when load increases in the mosfets side, the ams regulator goes away.

                              Anyways, no one knows what max led strip length is this board good for?

                                  @sergio-rius A little late, sorry, but that depends on the mosfets you are actually using. I am driving ~5m strips of white leds with most of my controllers and they don't even really get hot.

                                  There is also a big(ish) update from my side concerning this project: I have designed, 3d printed and tested my own case for the controllers and they work great. I have just added the stl files and some images to the project page!!
                                  For now this project is done from my side. The controllers have been working great for the past 2 years but due to the "huge" (~1s) delay with my Mysensors network (with signing and openhab on a raspi) when switching the leds I am currently testing some MQTT and wifi based RGBWW controller boards as an alternative.

                                    How long led strips in meters i can connect to this device ? What max power led strips support it ?

                                        I build this project but i want use it with radio RFM69HW and controller Home Assistant. But it not working with Home Assistant. Not connect with gateway on my RPI3b+. Other node with this radio connect ok. I dont know why ?Radio works and show this:
