PWM test

Hey Roberto just wanted to say thanks for the forum its has a nice setup.
Now to Business ! What is the output signal on the PWM outputs. Is it 9VDC? I do have a fluke to test with if needed. I didn't see it stated anywhere but if a battery works , I'm guessing?
I can run the dimmer circuit on the driver with a 9v battery but not on the output. I have the % on the RA set to 50% for both . Ramp it up or down and the lights stays off. Is there a delay? My son is napping so I cant test that one i know at least one of his does because I was using it to test and build with. Only difference in .pde files is wifi. Both Generated on Development libraries Any ideas ?I'm pretty sure it was ordered with the booster . Is there a way to check ?
Add ?
Thanks

What voltage are you reading from the RA PWM output?

O vdc . Now on Gen1 box is the output polarity the same as Gen2 because I couldnt find that listed either.just Gen2 Tried both 0vdc.

was able to test my other relay box and it has 8.86vdc at 100% and 4.46vdc at 52% etc. quick solution is Im going to switch box .Then any ideas?

I don't think your first box had booster in it. Just the second one.

If not can i add them? Plan on a 2nd LED build for my sons tank down the road.
Thanks Roberto.

Just looked at the eagle file . Are the resistors(4 it looked like) and chip in the box. and just need the signal brought out or do they need to be added. Cant open it right now to check.
Thanks Brian

You need to add the components and jumper out the pads to get the signals brought out.

1-10 How difficult. I have some skills but big fingers ?

It's relatively simple. So I'd say 4, just because you need to handle a soldering iron.

Ok Im going to hold off for awhile and just focus on the other setup.
Thanks for the info and your time
