Universal High-Power LED Driver

For the last 4 months, I’ve been working on “practical” side of things, and finally released this.
It’s a “universal” LED driver that supply constant current to high power (1 – 3W) LEDs. With remote controllable dimming and up to 3A of peak output current makes this a “one size fits all” kind of driver for many of your LED lighting projects.


Detailed information is posted at instructables. (http://www.instructables.com/id/Universal-High-Power-LED-Driver-with-3D-printable-/)

Aurora mini 18



 
Aurora mini 18 is only 2 inches in diameter, yet controls 18 full-color (RGB) LEDs individually. The technology that enables this little thing is as amazing as the lights it produces.

Please review the instructables before purchase – assembly requires soldering skill. You will also need PIC programmer such as PICKit 3, ICD 2, ICD 3 (PICKit 2 doesn’t work with the PIC used). If you don’t have a programmer, you can purchase the PIC programmed with the latest firmware. (The PIC will be soldered to the PCB)
