ESP8266 can * do 1KHz PWM so we can use 3 pins if we want. Another idea I had was to use lots * of pins to control 20mA LED driver ICs. With 15 pins one could make a circuit to * drive 32 levels of current to each color giving 32,768 colors. Each color would * have 5 npn controlling 1,2,4,8,16 LED drivers. One could then step through 0..620mA. * * Instead we will just use PWM to give us color control. We just need to calculate how * much current we want to send to our LED strip. Because each circuit runs in parallel * we need to determine how much current each branch will use. The current limiting * resistors means we can probably just use a fixed voltage supply. With a 48Vdc supply * at max brightness green will see 9mA, blue will see 12mA, and red will see 15mA. These * values are all pretty safe for the LED but the red would blow out a PN2222A with 1080mA. * * We should be careful about the inductance of the wire. Assuming 1/4mm diameter wire we * might have 47uH. We can use a diode on the collector of each color to send the spikes to * the +48Vdc rail. Each color will use an NPN-BJT, probably 3 parallel PN2222A with * ballast resitors, as buffers for the PWM signal from the esp8266. * * In the end I ended up using optoisolated pwm driving three power mosfets. This ended * up being a nuisance since the mosfet gates took forever to discharge resulting in * the LEDs staying lit when the esp8266 pulled the signal down. I did not really fix this * but I did add a few resistors on the gate to bleed off the gate charge. In effect the * max brightness is 0xfc instead of 0xff since the led does not turn off on 0xfd. But that * is not really a deal-breaker, just annoying. * * test using: * curl -X POST http://rain-gutter-rgb.lan.rome7.com/rgb -d "color=010101" */ #include #include #include #include #include ESP8266WiFiMulti wifiMulti;
