DUET 3 + SBC : Powering external device with 12V from DUET 3

[Donpi]

Hi,

Can I use the 12V socket that is between OUT 8 and TEMP 2 to power a LED strip ?

Actualy I use OUT 4,5 and 6 as pwm pin to power my RGB LED strip but I need them to other things.
So my plane is to use an arduino to drive the LED strip and le RPI to intercept some custom GCODE to send the values to the Arduino.

I know it'a bit wreid. But I'm open to suggestions

Bye

see
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_Mainboard_6HC_Hardware_Overview#Section_12V

with the max of 0.8A this is not something you would want to put a lot of leds on.

it would be better to use a buck converter.

@Veti Yeah I'have 50 LED it's like 3A or so.
I have plenty of LM317T, I'll try something directely from the 24V power supply.

Thanks.

Why not use a 24V LED strip?

[Donpi]

@dc42 It's beacause I allready have one 12V.

But yeah, I'am looking that way too.
