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:
- Outputs: HV converter sync pulse, 8x TRIAC gate outputs
- Bus: I2C
