24v LED Control from Web Interface.

Hey Guys how can I control my 24v Led strip with the software, Like a slider in the interface. I have it hooked up direct to the 24 Power supply.

Thank you

Use a fan output to PWM it if the current draw is low enough. Assuming it is just a single color two-wire strip.

If the current draw is too high use the pwm to drive a mosfet or something to do the switching.

That's not a lot of power consumption. 40W/5 meter is only like 5W / 2 feet. The fan output should be able to handle that no problem.

Connect + and - from the LED strip to one of the PWM fan outputs, then set up your config.g with a line something like this: M106 Pn C"LEDs" B0 where n is the fan output you hooked up the LEDs to.

It'll show up on the duet web control labeled "LEDs" with a slider you can drag up and down to set the brightness.

Then you can use the following command to turn the LEDs on and off, like to turn it on with the printer in config.g or change it with a macro.

M106 Pn Sddd where n is the fan number set up earlier with M106 and ddd is the brightness value from 0-255 (0 being off, 255 on full).

I added P2 to my Fan config. How does that look.

; Fans
M106 P0 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P1 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P2 C"LEDs" B0 ; LED strip to P2 PWM fan outputs
M106 P2 S255 ; brightness value

That looks good to me, although you might want to add L0 to the first M106 P2 command to make sure that you can get down to very low brightness levels.

Perfect guys. Thank you.
