sPWM v3 LED strip adapter

author: HolyFockBoxMods
Top
Bottom

2 layer board of 1.03 x 0.58 inches (26.2 x 14.8 mm)
Uploaded: January 05, 2018
Shared: January 05, 2018
Total Price: $2.95

v0.1 - any feedback appreciated!!!

Edit: after several tests, it’s proofed to work fine

The sPWM v3’s LED pin is only capable of 15mA, so here’s a little PCB to add LED strip support. This PCB is intended to be used with 2 tactile switches as up / down buttons.

additional components:

  • SOT-23 n-fet (i.e. AO 3422 or similar)
  • 100k 0805 resistor (optional, only if MosMax' supplemental board or a master on/off switch is used)
  • 2.54 pitch male connection headers (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/harwin-inc/M20-9990446/952-2266-ND/3728230)

Wiring:

  • “LEDs+”: LED strip’s positive
  • “LEDs-”: LED strip’s negative
  • “GND”: wires coming from up/down tac switches, switch and black VM wire
  • “VMr”: red VM wire
  • “VMy”: yellow VM wire
  • “Vin”: battery+
  • “Pot+”: wire from UP tac switch
  • “Pot-”: wire from DOWN tac switch
  • “Sw”: wire from switch
  • use standard 2.54mm pitch headers to solder on the sPWM v3 by Voltrove (Mosfet facing up!)
  • if using an LED instead of a voltmeter, solder LED+ to VMr, leave VMy free
  • all wires are routed to the left

adds a slightly bigger footprint to the v3
