RGBW LED strip current

Hi,

I have a stupid question and since it's referenced in the "MySensor shop" I would like to post here

The LED strip on the "MySensor store" here http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575069610&toolid=10001&campid=5337433187&customid=&icep_item=171158397695&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
says

Specifications:
● Color: RGBW Mixed
● View angle:120°
● Working Voltage: 24V DC
● LED Quantity: 300 leds/5 M(150pcs RGB LED and 150pcs White LED)
● Working Current/Meter: 6A
● Output power: 72W /5 Meter

As I understand 5050 SMD LED have a standard power consumption of 0,24W/LED = 72W for the one above which seems ok. With 24V it should be 3 Amp for 5 m (72W/24V) and not 6A per meter as it says.

Also it would be good to have a good recommendation on 12V LED driver as you also have 12V LED strips in the shop

This should work with Domoticz, it's what I intend to use with it. I've received the boards from China and I'm currently working on a version 2 of this board. There are some errors in the design of version 1 that I need to get out. New version will be up shortly.

@krisztian Hi krisztian, the singleLED board - as its name suggests - features only one LED output. If you want to have a setup with multiple LED strips you need to design a board with multiple outputs. I have already designed a board with 4 outputs, but I haven't built it. In terms of software you need to register multiple sensors in your program like this: #define numCh 4 //the number of outputs const byte ledPins[] = {9,6,5,3}; byte ledLevel[numCh]; boolean ledDimWay[numCh]; //in the setup function request the dim levels from the gateway for(byte i=0; i<numCh; i++) request(i, V_DIMMER); //in the presentation function register multiple lights for(byte i=0; i<numCh; i++) present(i, S_DIMMER); //if you receive a signal, you need to check for the sensor id setLED(message.sensor, requestedLevel); //to set the LED level (function: setLED) you need to use the sensor id to determine brightness and pin //Fade LED to set level int delta = (level - ledLevel[child]) < 0 ? -1 : 1; //Write to LED analogWrite(ledPins[child], map(ledLevel[child],0,100,0,255)); I will probably publish the whole code once I have built and tested the 4LED controller (i call it "MySensors rainbowLED") Hope I could help you ThetaDev

@mfalkvidd said: I am using them at 12V so the power would be ~4W. Not too much but still enough to get the sink hot! The voltage makes no difference. 5A is still 5A. you are right brain fart

The choice of MOSFET can be tricky. Seems that irlz44n was discontinued so you may need to find one adapted to the voltage and current you want to handle. In all the cases you need to get a logic MOSFET too, meaning that they are fully open usually around 1 to 3V. Also I'm sort of confused as it seems to me that L7812CV is a Voltage regulator, not a MOSFET. So if you are actually using that in the MOSFET spot it will definitively not work. Especially if you are handling high current or voltage I would recommend using one from a reputable source for your MOSFET, I recently switched from mouser / digikey / aliexpress to mostly use http://www.arrow.com as you get free regular shipping, event if you order a couple of components (no affiliation to them whatsoever).

Thanks for the reply. I am not looking to use an LCD, although that may be the best solution. For now, I plan on creating a simple set of LEDs and buttons. I have looked over the code, and was wondering which part of the code is retrieving the status of a sensor? What if I have multiple motion sensors, how would I retrieve each unique value?
