- Thu Jun 04, 2015 8:37 am #19439 Hey new to the forum but I'm working on an RGB design similar to what the OP has done here.

If you look on his github there is a folder with the software for his design.
I have not tried it so can not comment on whether it works or is still in development.

Hope that helps.

Problem was he put this link in the first post to hardware
https://github.com/tjclement/esp-dimmer-hardware

as opposed to

https://github.com/tjclement/esp-dimmer-software
Have not seen that one in its present state and I know now it is mentioned in the readme - but a lot of it has been added lately .

Get you modules here:

A quick question to you electronic gurus, the output from the mosfet will not be constant current right? As there modules are made to control these led strips that have inbuilt current limiting resistors?

But, if I were to use a constant current source, and switch it with a mosfet, the output would still be constant current(or current limited would be better terminology) right?

You can think of the mosfet here as an on/off switch, so the answer to all three questions are Yes.

More questions,

Is this an overkill for a dimmer node? I will be dimming a 50w (~1.7A) LED, and maybe later some simple RGB strips
