Double Rainbow Sneak Peak on Flickr.
What do you call an Arduino-based RGB controller that manages 2 strips at a time? "Double Rainbow", of course... Via Flickr: We had a fun time coming up with a name for this project! Need a convenient way to drive RGB strip lights? The Ardweeny "Double Rainbow" backpack does it, with a 11A capable FET drivers per channel. Our RGB striplights (www.solarbotics.com/product/60520/) draw 3.25A per meter at 12VDC (producting FULL white), so you can easily drive 3 meters (10') per side. Even logner lengths are possible, if you don't plan on running full-bright white mode! We have a 5A-rated switch on the PCB, but have break-outs for beefy screw-terminals if you need to use the full 11A capacity of this backpack. This project is a derivative of something we did for the costumes used at the Calgary Stampede earlier this summer.
