USB-2RGB

USB-2RGB    

Features:

• 2 Sets of RGB drives (12 outputs)
•  footprint (3.3 x 2.8 inches)
• Terminal Block for 5 I/O's (programmable)
• On board LED's to indicate processor running.
• Branch Circuit Protection (Fuses) 4amps *1
• 2 Amps maximum current per driver, 30V maximum

Note1: Branch circuit protection is set to 4 amps to match up with 24V LED fixtures in order to meet safety requirements.  For 12V LED fixtures, 6 amps versions can be ordered (Custom)

I/O Commands:/p>

CMD1 is used to set the outputs (brightness and fade).  The format of the command is [1,Select_Bits, Brightness, Fade, 204] (5 bytes, no brackes)

CMD10 is used to Set TB1 if set to output mode:  The format of the command is: [10, Select_Bits, on/off value,204] 4 bytes, no brackets is sent from BrightAuthor.
On/Off value: 0 = 0ff, 1 to 255 = On.

CMD30 is used to Set TB1 Mode: The format is [30, mode, 204]

I/O's (TB1):

TB1 is programmable for 5 inputs or 5 Logic Level outputs.  Use CMD30 to set the I/O for TB1:

• Mode = 0 : The 5 I/O's are programmed as outputs.  The Brightsign Controls the Outputs with CMD 10.
• Mode = 1: The 5 I/O's are programmed as inputs and are reported to the BrightSign with input changes
• Mode = 2: The 5 I/O's are programmed as inputs and are used to select scenes to play.  Inputs need to be constant during play or play will halt.
• Mode = 3: The 5 I/O' are programmed as inputs and are used to select scenes to play. Inputs are triggers and do not require no change of state.
• Link: Binary to decimal info: 

TB1 Mode = 1 (inputs reported to the BrightSign):

• Close the inputs to 0V (buttons/switches) to activate the inputs.  The inputs are reported as strings to the BrightSign and are evaluated as decimal in BrightAuthor.  I.E. Sending "1",13 causes a serial string event and evaluates as 1 (not "1").
• When an input is released (goes back high by internal pull-up resistor) an 8 is added to the string.  I.E. "81",13 indicates input 1 was released.  This scheme allows the programmer to respond to inputs going high if needed.
