The EL Driver 1 will be an EL wire driver, that can be plugged into the EL Shield (revision 2+) and a future baseboard for standalone use.

  • Generates 80VDC @ ~50-150mA from 3-15V in using the LT3575 IC
  • Converts the 80VDC into 160v p-p using an H bridge
    • H bridge is driven from a PIC10F microcontroller
    • Can be set to low frequency, high frequency, or fed a pulse train from an external device
