Im pursuing a homemade photography LED array. Ideally, the LED array will be 6 series 5 parallel. (24 volts @ 1000mA per row). Each LED row is a different wavelength, together they make up the whole spectrum. Each LED row I want to have adjustable so you can adjust the color temperature and enhance the photo. They do already exist but there not ve

ry powerful, besides I wanna make one for fun. But I ran into a problem with figuring out how to dim them. Potentiometers in series with each array will burn up to much electricity. I`m still learning how to draw schematics. Will this work at all From your schematic it looks like you have AC going to your LEDs. You need DC. You might want to share your LED types as different LEDs have different voltage drops, so to make sure we need to know this. If they are really 1 amp LEDs the pot is probably not the best option because of the power. I figured I would need some sort of voltage or current regulator. I`m proficient in soldering, is there a schematic I can follow and make my own All the LED`s fV is 3. 6 @ 1A. (ive stressed them to 4v with no problem if heatsinked). 1. Yes, you could do what you have sketched, replacing the rheostats with adjustable voltage regulators (LM317-type thingies). However, as was pointed out in the other thread referenced above, you`re going to end up wasting a lot of power as heat. So. 2. The mo` betta` way to do this would be to use PWM. Don`t worry, doesn`t have to be all that scary and complicated. I`ve built simple PWM controllers using a single 555 and a transistor (plus a few resistors, etc. ). Very little power wasted, and better control over brightness, especially at the lower end of the scale. 3. I like the idea of mixing different colors of LEDs to see what the result is. You`re going to...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
