Flozfzx Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hello everyone, I was just wondering is there any type of controller I can use with these (https://www.rapidled.com/0-10v-dimmable-nano-driver-with-potentiometer/) drivers ? I was just looking to control the driver automatically, Its a pain doing it manually. Quote Link to comment
ajmckay Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You have multiple of these drivers? Can you just put them on a timer once you adjust the optimal coloring/brightness? The only way I can think of to put these drivers on a controller would be to use a PWM to analog circuit. You can build them per several online sources. Just make sure the output voltage matches the input signal requirements of the drivers. You can also buy them obviously. Quote Link to comment

Thank you for taking your time in replying. How would I wire the Typhon base LED controller to the rapidled Nano drivers ? It already has a 10v signal to the POT. Quote Link to comment
Tom@HaslettMI Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Based on the specs provided any controller with 0-10 v dimming will work. So, APEX, ReefKeeper, or ReefAngel if you have the proper models or modules. If you’re going to remove the pot, just buy the option without the pot... https://www.rapidled.com/0-10v-dimmable-nano-driver/ Tom Quote Link to comment

Tom@HaslettMI Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I’m not sure. The voltage looks to be different. Someone with more experience with LEDs will have to answer that. Tom Quote Link to comment
