If you're not trying to expand your boundaries, you're doin it wrong!



What about using a switch IC? Tie all the inputs together (1 side of the dimmer wire) and route each output through a different resistor value to the other dimmer wire. Use arduino to control the control pins.

The only downside is that it might be a little bulky when controlling several drivers. Maybe limit each driver to 3-5 intensities, selecting desired resistor values beforehand to make up for the low resolution.
