For Brightsign Compact HD410, 810 & 1010

RGBW HIGH-CURRENT DRIVER BOARD

(Daughter Board for C16/C8 Series Boards)

RGBW DRIVER BOARD:

• Footprint (4.8 x 3.5 inches)
• RGBW (Common Anode), the four outputs drive each color to 0V for turn on.
• RED, GREEN, BLUE, & WHITE DRIVER BOARD (FOR 12 VOLT ROPE LIGHTS)
• EACH OUTPUT 15 AMPS MAXIMUM
• Terminal blocks for all I/O connections
• Requires 12V External Power Supply).
• Stacks below the new C16 and C8 boards with or without DMX.

Description of Operation:

There is a 5 pin header for the control signals to the microprocessor.  This 5 pin header mates with the C-16 or C-8 boards when stacked together (RGBW board on the bottom).  There are 4 pin TERMINAL BLOCKS for each of the colors.  Because each driver can drive up to 15 amps, each driver circuit has it's own terminal block.  The 12 volts on each terminal block is jumped together so that each driver circuit will have the input power connection and a connection for the rope light 'plus' lead.  Each of the drivers is pulse width modulated (PWM) to vary the brightness from value of 0 (off) to 255 (full on) or any number between 0 and 255 (256 levels of brightness)

The 5 pin header for the microprocessor is a serial port interface.  The signals are: Ground, 5 volts, Serial-Select, Serial Data, and Serial Clock.

Protocol: With 'SS' Low, 8 bytes are clocked in for the Red, Green, Blue and White PWM values and Fade Values.
