I am absolutely not an electrician so not even sure if something like this exists. I am looking for a controller that can control multiple 12v RGB strips. Functions like light 1 on, light one off, light 2 on, light 2 off, light 3 on,… and similar.
Would not be used in a PC. Does anyone know of something like that?
They do have normal 4 pin rgb connectors. I am looking for something that can control 10 or more strips. But thanks for the link
Then you might want to do a hack job with a ZigBee controller: https://www.amazon.com.au/ZigBee-Switch-Controller-Amazon-Co…
control 10 or more strips
*what wattage per metre?
* you will also need a power supply to handle 10 strips
* how are you planning to extend the cabling so all 10 strips go back to 1 point? Consider you will need 4 core cable. (You could use 2 x fig 8 too)
This is typically where you will find the cheapy kits on amazon/ebay will fail as many of them are only designed to handle the 5m roll.
What IC chip are the RGB LED strips using, is it like Ws2811 or similar? If so you can build your own wifi controller using an ESP32 and loading up open source software like WLED (https://kno.wled.ge/) Then you can use an app on your phone to control the the strips
I purchased a few of the Deepcool RGB LED Magnetic Strip 300mm that were on sale a few weeks ago. Now I would love to connect them all to one controller .
I dont think they are addressable LED's from what I can see, which means turning individual lights on or off probably wont be possible its either all on or all off
That's all I want to do, turn one strip on then off, then the next strip on and off,… I want to control strips one by one, not individual lights
Looking at the deepcool strip they have four wires and look to be not running a serial bus. They will only do one colour per strip. You will need strip with ws2811 or ws2812 chips if you want to control individual leds.
That's fine,I just need them to do white. But one after the other in circles.
If you do want to get into individual control of leds in a strip do a search for auschristmaslighting.com 101 manual. Alot of useful information including strips to buy and controllers to use.
What type of RGB strips? Guessing it's not ZigBee or Philips Hue enabled nor PC 4-pin ones. Is it the cheap rolls like below? There's a remote control controller that comes with those you might be able to daisy-chain.
