Dimming Expansion question.

Post by GugsJr »

I had 2 bad drivers on my current Rapid LED DIY fixtures. So I ordered new ones and I have a few questions.

This is the list of my equipment new equipment.

2 Rapid LED DIY fixture.
4 LDD Drivers
3 Jebao PP-8

I'm going to have the the LED fixtures over lap on time. So Front Blue LEDs on from 2-11, Whites from 4-9, Back LED Blues from 3-11 and Whites from 5-10.

Here is how I was thinking of wiring the equipment

2 Jebaos into the Dimming ports on the Relay
4 LDD Drivers to the Dimming Expansion
1 Jebao into Dimming Expansion

So my question is.

1. Will the dimming of the LEDs affect the Jebao on the Dimming Expansion?
2. Is there a better way to wire everything up?

Should be fine. Set the ports for the LDD's to 5v PWM and the one for the Jebao to 10v analog.

Thank you. When I ordered my RA+ I ordered the PWM signal on it. Will the Jebaos work with the dimming ports on the relay box?

No. LDD are 0-5V PWM

When I purchased I had the RA+ I had the ELN drivers. I just switched to the LDD drivers.

So my plan was to put 2 Jebaos on the dimming ports on the relay, I think they are 0-10V PWM since they worked with the ELN drivers.

They will work on those ports correct?

The LDD Drivers I'm going to connect to the dimming expansion

Sounds good.

If I Put the two Jeabos on the Relay Dimming ports and the third Jebao on the Dimming expansion, will that affect the LEDs?

The other option is to put 2 Jeabos on the Relay Dimming ports, The LEDs on the Dimming Expansion. The third Jebao on constant using the controller it came with and then using the random function on port 5 or 6 on the relay.

Each channel in the dimming module can be changed individually.
So you will be good with that.
