The EL Driver Shield will drive 8(?) channels of EL wire, generating required voltages on the shield itself. Each channel will support dimming individually.
Project Status
- 2011-09-30: Started putting basic design ideas together.
Ideas / Brainstorming
- One single high voltage converter with separate switches for each channel
- Dimming using a TRIAC on each channel like incandescent lights use
- Shield will likely need a microcontroller on it
- Inputs: Zero crossing input from high voltage converter
- Outputs: 8x TRIAC gate outputs
- Busses: I2C
