Hey yall,
I am trying to build a wide range, fine control dimmable LED setup, but do not have any experience soldering. I would be grateful for someone to teach me and supervise the process on my build. There is also probably a problem with the angular granularity of the potentiometer, but a working prototype would be totally sufficient for now. I only have about a week (Wed, June 5th) to complete this part of the build before I have to leave the country, so I appreciate swift replies. If you set a date/time to meet up at the electronics lab, I will be there.
I am happy to offer in exchange an introduction to aromachemicals and perfumery. I have 700+ synthetics and my profession is related to odor analysis.
I am interested in what other constraints you have for enclosure size, desired brightness and color? For instance would a small dev board with a ws2812 be desirable? I can meet at the makerspace to discuss. if it something simple I may have spare parts to contribute.
Hey! Thanks for the swift reply.
The LEDs will eventually be enclosed in a black tube of about 2-3" inner diameter, with a view port at the other end. A body like a kaleidoscope, but blacked out on the sides. I have some Cree XP 3ups stars at 625nm and a constant current driver for them. I do need a bit of 16-20 awg copper wire for the dimming control, and something to do the LED stars in series, but i have the AC adapter to the driver.
I can meet up tonight, or later this week. Flexible work hours. If Thursday 6pm is good for you, that’s particularly convenient for me.
Yes i can be there thursday
