I’d like to build and program this circuit myself. Is there a firmware download for the 12 bar? I only see firmware for some of the others. Amazing work by the way!

You can always alter the firmware to get what you want, but as it is with the current version, there’s no speed control. My plan is to add similar function to Wave JT, where you can double/triple tap the button to change the speed.

Hello,
is there a controller as to how fast the colors change? Also how high can the LED’s be from the board? I am building a raygun and want the LED’s to be on top of the gun.

Thanks

I will keep that in mind for a future project.

Thank you for your response.

Could you offer a modified version of this one which will include 15 MOSFETs on the board, so we just need to connect 12 3W RGBs?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Trinh.

Aurora 12 bar’s firmware is almost identical to mini 18, except that it has the analog/sound meter function added to it.

To control high power LEDs, you’s have to add a MOSFET for each LED and one for each RGB channel, total of 15 MOSFETs. Basically the same schematic as Aurora 9×18 or 18×18, but you’d want to use MOSFETs instead of BJTs.

Hi,

This one is great.
Does it use the same firmware with Aurora mini 18?

And how can I modify it to connect 12 X RGB 3W ?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Trinh
