[POC] Controlling 12V LED Strip using Mindstorms EV3

[Jim]

Hi all,

A while ago I purchased the EV3Lights Led Controller by Mindsensors. The contoller is powered by a 12V adapter and it plugs into one of the sensor ports of the Mindstorms EV3 brick. 

To control the strip you need to download an EV3 Block and you are good to go. They even have sample program, which worked instantly!

Christmas will never be the same!

Hi,

Nice find 

It is able to PWM channels and get combinations of colors or is just on/off?

Do you know what current it support on channels, I'm asking in the idea if small load, other than LED strip, can be used?

Thanks
