Oprogramowanie WLED
Sterowanie diodami LED oparte na nowoczesnym oprogramowaniu WLED
Pozwala w prosty sposób zarządzać kolorami, jasnością oraz efektami świetlnymi (ponad 100 efektów, palety, makra), a także dzielić pasek LED na segmenty, co daje dużą elastyczność w konfiguracji i personalizacji oświetlenia.
Pasek LED
z zestawem rurek
Pasek LED jest urządzeniem wykonawczym.
Odbiera od sterownika polecenia dotyczące: koloru, poziomu jasności, czasu świecenia
Rurki pełnią fukcje stelaża całej konstrukcji.
Płyta główna
z gniazdem DC
Płyta główna, do której podłączane są mikrokontroler oraz przetwornica 5V.
Płytka wyposażona jest w gniazdo zasilania oraz pola lutownicze umożliwiające podłączenie paska LED.
Dodatkowo została zaprojektowana tak, aby odprowadzać nadmiar ciepła wytwarzanego przez elementy elektroniczne, co wydłuża ich żywotność.
