I'm trying to get my Meanwell LPF-60D-48 driver to dim with arduino 5V PWM output. Datasheet - http://www.meanwell.com/mw_search/LPF-40D/LPF-40D-spec.pdf
I can't get it to work.
I've tried using an L7810 linear 10V regulator to provide the 10V, and NPN transistor to switch the PWM- and using the 10V voltage line as signal as a PWM+. I've also tried using an NPN to switch the PWM+ and using gnd as the PWM-. The NPN transistor base is connected to Arduino PWM.
When left unplugged the LPF driver PWM "inputs" maintain a 10V voltage, and LEDs remain on at 100%. When shorted, the driver turns LEDs off (LEDs at 0%) as it should. When plugged up to the arduino, it just pulls the PWM+ line up to 10V, even if arduino is at 5% PWM (0.5V.
I've tested the load on the driver PWM inputs, and it is only outputting ~0.3ma. I'm not sure why arduino is not pulling it down.
Any advice or components I can use to get the driver to do what it is supposed to do?
I have an oscilloscope and other test equipment so if you need more info, I can provide it.
Thanks!
