G+_Nico G Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If you want to control 12V LED strips you can use following: its much cheaper then 3 ESC's http://deals.dx.com/team.php?id=25315 http://deals.dx.com/team.php?id=25315 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 just curious, why would i use 3 ESCs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nico G Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Described in kh203 i think. To control all 3 colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Eddie Foy? because this circuit tops out at 72 watts. Three $7 ESCs can deliver 1000+ watts. Still a cool module, but it can only control one 300 light strip of RGB LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stede Bonnett Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just saw this episode (KH222). Wanted to point out these that I have used these many times: https://www.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-Repeater-Signal-Amplifier-Strip/dp/B00E4JQDKE/ they have an aluminum enclosure and can drive 10M of 12V (or 20M of 24V) RGB strips. They can daisy chain, it has DC jack and screw terminals for power, and the headers are removable (they unplug). There are other brands, versions rated for 36A, and RGBW 4 channel models. The input side works down to at least 3.3V logic (that's what I am usually using). Also 24V strips (and power supplies) are readily available on Amazon now. They have less voltage drop (lower current) along the length so there is less of a color change from one end to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
