Yes indeed. I was excited with the DIY and I forgot to check for it :(
few pics of the led running:

Also the heat sink is on it:

I was wondering if the expansion hub can give 5v for the dimmer or perhaps more :P

You could still you PWM signal on the analog drivers.
The response and dimming ramp will be different and not linear, but you can still use it.

Also if you use the RA to dim..you won't have to mess with that POT for dimming...just FYI

Who made your circuit board? Did it come with emitters or did you add them? It's sleek

I did try and it didn't turn on :(
I didn't try to connected it on the main relay. :?
So the dimmer it needs the electric wire I connected by usb in the usb expansion.
I didn't know I can charge my phone on the usb expansion as well :geek:
I will try again once I upload the new code...
I was wondering why every time I setup a new parameter I have to reset the controller to get
the relax expansion to work with it :? I don't know if it make sense, sorry for my broken English.

And here it is, running on 30% dimmed manually :P

It's design by a friend from mass forum and he sent the design to few places for build it and he got a really good deal for a few of them.
Very very strong.
