Ok to use UI slider for LED lighting control?
-
I didn't see anything specific to this question - so thought I would add it in here:
It occurred to me that the LED strips on my machine are powered simply by using one of the Fan connectors.
Right now I turn them on with "M106 P2 S255" and off with "M106 P2 S0"
The Duet Board allows you to display the fan sliders in the UI.So..my question:
Are there any dangers to the electronics or LED strips in using the UI Fan 3 slider as a dimmer for the LEDs? Or is it best to use them in Off/On modes only?
Thanks in advance -

It's OK to use PWM on ordinary LED strips, so you can use the sliders.

Thank you, sir!
