💬 OH MySensors RGBW Controller

[Sergio Rius]

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]

Have you checked the voltage on the arduino?

[Sergio Rius]

@gohan As you suspected, it was 12v.

[gohan]

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

[Sergio Rius]

@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?

You may also consider this one

@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.

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

[pepson]

Why on 5 picture POWER MOSFET IRLM2502 is other side solder than on picture 9 ?

[pepson]

Hi
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:

I found one bug in your project PCB. Pin from radio nae IRQ should be connect on PCB to pin 2 ARDUINO. But it is not connect. Also when i use radio RFM69HW i also need connect PIN 2 Arduino to pin DI00 on radio RFM69HW. This should be correct... Now pin 9 from radio is not connect to any pin Arduino.

On RFM69HW all works ok. In previus post my radio is fix.

Is any chance to implement in sketch option to Node after connect power go to state OFF. Now it go to ON. In situation when power lost and come back all leds will be ON.

and is any chance to implement in your sketch option to add manual button to enable LEDS color WHITE ?
Any color i want to setup by gateway but on the wall i want mount switch to enable color white and also to disable.
Please add this if you can... In sketch setup pin on which button works and also color which should be turn on....

@aramko at first, he shared a link with the preloaded board on dirtypcbs (http://dirtypcbs.com/store/designer/details/7078/867/mysensors-rgbw-controller-v1-3).
If you want to upload the files by yourself, you have to zip all the files and upload them.. take a look here under "ordering" (https://dirtypcbs.com/store/pcbs/about)
