Details
Constant Voltage Amp Great for Micro-Controllers (this works great with the Arduino Micro-Controllers) Also works with RGB Controllers as an Amp
LED Power Repeater (Amplifier)
~~For 12V DC LED Strips or other 12v DC Devices like: relays, motors, lights, valves or anything that needs on/off or PWM Switching of 1-3 channels
~~Input: Red/Black Wires.
~~Input Voltage: 3v - 12v (suggested) (+) is common and each of the 3 channels have separate (-) so you can use 1, 2 or all 3 of the channels
~~Output: Color Coded Wires great for connecting to RGB flexible LED strips. (Common (+) Anode)
~~You can connect and control up to 2A/Ch of output (2x rolls of our standard output RGB flex strip).
~~Supports PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulation) control 0-100% Dimming / Full Color Control
~~You can stack amps (2x repeaters connected = 4A/Ch) (4x repeaters connected = 8A/Ch) (you can also stack channels if you are using single color strips 2x channels = 4A 3x channels = 6A)
Simply connect 3x of your Micro-Controller PWM output pins to the RGB input of this amp then connect the (+) input to the +3.3 or 5v output on your Micro-Controller. Then, connect a 12v DC power supply to the Red (+) and Black (-) input wires on the amp and connect your RGB LED strips to the Output.
In your program you will want to write (ledPin, LOW); to turn on the device and (ledPin, HIGH); to turn it off (so you may have to map your output ie: val = map(val, 0, 255, 255, 0; if your code is designed for 255 = On)

Additional Information
Suggested Uses | For Controlling RGB or 1-3x single color flex strips with a Micro-Controller Great for an easy way to control your lights with custom software or via timers, motion detectors, home automation software, internet or iPhone
these are also great for standalone control of lights using low current magnetic reed/door switches or motion detectors In your program you will want to write (ledPin, LOW); to turn on the device and (ledPin, HIGH); to turn it off
