LED Full Spectrum Controller based on Mega2560 board

[kapelan]

I'm using this one:

[tazzy123123]

Sorry that was the one I was sent this is mine and sorry for the bad drawing

[tazzy123123]

That's the thing put together

[kapelan]

Transistor can be opened or closed.
So, from your circuit, if a power supply provides 40V and 5A you will burn out any LED immediately.
Driver guaranteed 1A to the LED.

[tazzy123123]

I'm only running 22v and they have been running for 3 months

[kapelan]

That's design for the device with web access:

Raspberry is optional.
Device is working fine without Raspberry PI.
Raspberry is used as a log server and provide remote access to the device.
So from somewhere on vacation we have 100% access including monitoring and control.
Failure safe: in case of Raspberry die - device still working as configured

Hey
I have a question that followed the display and how to have connected?

standard USB cable between Arduina and Raspberry and WIFI module to internet from Raspberry

Hi Kapelan,
I have some buzzer modules I would like to add to the overflow sensors what pins would I have connect them to give me an audible alarm for high and low level water in the aquarium and my sump.:

you also hand made the driver's to right?

PCB with 8 drivers.
Each of them up to 1000mA.

So do i connect the buzzer modules on the same pins as the overflow sensors , sorry if this is a a silly question.

Hi kapelan

Thank you so much for this great thread I really do know how to thank you about it
Its a good thing to share that work with friends here .. So as I am so noob to electronics but I take a decision to diy my led system and controller I already bought arduino mega2560 rev3 from here http://mobile.ram-e-shop.com/cat/mob...oducts_id/2147
And also the rtc http://mobile.ram-e-shop.com/cat/mob...oducts_id/2975

And the TFT LCD http://mobile.ram-e-shop.com/cat/mob...oducts_id/2699
The TFT is the most expensive part by the way

I also ordered the odd drivers with PCB from here
5UP Ldd-700H Meanwell Driver on PCB + Dimmer control for Lumia 5.1 100W LEDs
http://s.aliexpress.com/qYniYJf2

Anyway if I get this items above connected somehow that I really do know yet how to connect them and uploaded your software gonna work and I can control with the LCD screen above also how to get the fan cooler for heat think to be run only at certain intensity and not running in low dimming levels and how to connect it ...

Thank you again and if you could help I really be thankful

[kapelan]

it was created for 3.2"TFT, I'm afraid you will have a trouble with 5" display.

[rott]

@Kapelan where did you get the case for your controller I like that style of box can you tell me the size you have also?

So my friend could you plz offer a LCD screen to use it I am gonna buy some items from aliexpress so I can get the LCD from there

Thank you very much for that
but is it require rtc ? I don't see a built in rtc on shield

nice and easy

thank you so much for this effort i am now tried all versions but did not seen this graph at which version this graph and how i can display this ?

when you set up a timer for led in the left corner button for options, when you touch it it switch modes: "SUN","Cloud1", "Cloud2" and "Chart"
Then press save it will open this screen.
Also in order to open this screen this timer must be valid, like 5 to 10 pm.
(Over midnight this screen does not work)

the sun option will make the ramping function like sun rais and sun down ? but based on what intensity and for the Set spectrum i do that i can set yje maximum power for each line ... also i want to know what is the meaning of set color it looks like rgb function is that if i installed rgb light on one line so i can use this option or what ?

that mean i can not made night mode with that timer setup ? or should i use the option SUN to setup night mode time

also i want to tell SSD1289IC has been discontinued for many years, has been unable to continue production, with immediate effect, 3.2-inch screen has been updated to ILI9341 drive, the same hardware structure and interface definitions, driver changes slightly, the quality is more stable.
could you update the tft screen lib ?

"Sun" means maximum values that were set up on "Set Spectrum" screen.
Controller never exeed these values.
"Set Color" - will display color on the tauch screen for your leds.
Sunrize/Sunset with any duration can be set it up manually from the screen you posted above.
Not sure what you mean under night mode.
In my "night mode" I have 2 timers: one blue led about 10% before midnigh and another royal blue about 5% after midnight.
The interface is very simple, please play with it a bit - it's unbreakable.

for the new peoples it will be hard to get the same touch screen its nor not on production there are new screens please if you can update the hex file for it i am willing to use it for my friends here and they will pay for and i could donate you for that if you would like

3.2-inch screen has been updated to ILI9341 drive working with no shield could you please take a look on it ?
