1. Introduction The LED Strip Driver with 4-pin Grove interface provides easy connectivity to your standard Arduino device or Seeed Stalker. It can help you control the luminance of a single-color LED strip, as well as the color and the luminance of an RGB LED strip through Arduino or Seeeduino. It has 2 terminals and 2 Grove interfaces. The power for LED strip comes in through the 2-pin terminal. And the LED controlling voltages output through the 4-pin terminal.
2. Specifications Power supply 12V/5A 9V/1A LED Strip RGB LED strip RGB LED strip LED Color White Length(m) Max current(mA) 1 1032 2 1822 3 2430 4 2800 5 3000 1 365 2 627 White 12V Power Supply – Screw terminal for 9~12v power supply. Chainable Input – Connected to Grove - Base Shield] or the other driver's chainable output. Pin definition: CLK DIN NC GND. Chainable Output – Connected to the other driver's chainable input.
3. Demonstration 3.1 1. Hardware installation Connect the Grove socket marked "IN" on the LED Strip Driver and digital port 2 on the Base Shield with a Grove cable. 2. Connect the LED strip to the 4 pin terminal of Grove - LED Strip Driver. Make sure the wire marked "+12v" of the LED strip goes into the seat marked "+" of the terminal, and "B" into "B","R" into "R" and "G" into "G". Most of the LED strips we are selling have 4 wires as the picture above except White LED Flexi-Strip - 60 LED - 1m.
3. Connect the 12V DC or 9V DC power wires to the 2 pin terminal. 1. In cases that you want to utilize the cascade feature, prepare another driver and strip first. Then use a Grove cable to connect the Grove socket marked "out" on the first board and the Grove socket marked "IN" on the second board. Done. Two strips will shine in sync now. 3.2 1. Software Programming Download the LED Strip Driver Library. Unzip and import it into Arduino-1.0 Libraries: ..\arduino1.0\libraries. 2.
3. In case of two LED strips, upload the DualLEDStrip demo code instead.
