The
SRGBmods LED Controller v2 is a DIY (do it yourself) ARGB controller
exclusively designed to be used with
SignalRGB!
Its base is an extremely powerful
PJRC Teensy 4.X micro-controller sporting an ARM Cortex-M7 running at 600mhz, 1024K RAM and a USB 2.0 PHY that makes it possible to
drive up to 4056 leds.
A massive amount of
23 pins on Teensy 4.0 or even
41 pins on Teennsy 4.1 can be used to connect your devices to it!
Useful information that might save you some hassle and trouble shooting:
- Currently only WS2812B is supported officially! Other WS28XX-based strips should work as well though.
- If you are running more than 100 leds off one pin, you are using a lot of pins, or your leds are flickering, you might need a Adafruit NeoPXL8 Friend (Level-Shifter) to step up to the WS2812B's 5V data line logic from the Teensy's 3.3V pin logic. It could already help to skip a pin in between data lines to reduce interferences though!
- Status LED and Hardware Lighting can be configured on-the-fly directly in the device options in SignalRGB!
A word of warning: EEPROM has a limited write cycle count per address, DO NOT constantly change the Hardware Lighting settings!
- Currently there's no detection of your USB ports being suspended when shutting down your PC while keeping them powered, so disable Hardware Lighting if you externally power your LEDs, otherwise they will stay lit.
